Judge denies bond reduction in rape case

Circuit Judge Rene Williams has denied a bond reduction for the man accused of sexually abusing and raping two children under the age of 16.

The judge is pictured here in a Zoom meeting with a parole officer, the defendant and his attorney.

The Crittenden County Grand Jury has now indicted Thomas R. Irvin, 32, of Marion on multiple felony charges related to the case. He has been jailed on a $1 million bond since February.

The grand jury also indicted others in child sexual abuse cases.
