Jamez Hendrickson Pleads Not Guilty To Sex Crimes

An Evansville man is facing sex crimes in which he's accused of using a foreign object on his victims.

Twenty-one year old Jamez Hendrickson has pleaded not guilty to five counts of first degree sexual abuse of a minor.

Prosecutors say in late April, and back in 2012, two victims told police investigators that Hendrickson had used the handle of a bread knife to penetrate them.

When interviewed, Hendrickson admitted to assaulting other victims and used a knife on a least one of them.

He is being held on  $125,000 bond awaiting trial, and could face up to 50 years in prison on each charge, if convicted.
