Alabama law describes second-degree sodomy as a person over the age of 16 engaging in sexual contact with a person under the age of 16 (but more than 12 years old).

As reported by The Montgomery Advertiser, Ross was brought before the grand jury on August 28 and was arrested at his home "without incident" on September 11.

Al.com reported that the victim in the case is a juvenile female. Weaver Police Lieutenant Andy Hunter told Al.com that the victim had been located and was interviewed at the Children's Advocacy Center in Calhoun County.
