A Pulaski County man has been charged with two child sex crimes after he allegedly sexually assaulted a child.
Devin Crossland, 25, was charged in Pulaski County with first-degree endangering the welfare of a child involving sexual contact and first-degree sodomy of a victim younger than 12 years old. A warrant was issued and a $500,000 bond was set.
Crossland previously pleaded guilty on April 9, 2024, to second-degree rape in Pulaski County and was sentenced to seven years in prison. He is being held at Farmington Correctional Center.
A forensic interview was held with the child victim on July 13, 2024, after the child allegedly told their foster mother about assaults occurring while in the care of their biological mother, according to the probable cause statement.
The child victim described multiple sexual assaults to law enforcement and claimed they told their mother about them after it occurred, but the biological mother did not do anything or report the crime, court documents say.
