MS Coast felon accused of sexually assaulting, torturing children, records say
A convicted felon from Saucier who is already serving time for burglaries and a drug conviction is facing new charges in Harrison County.
A Harrison County grand jury indicted Jerry Ray Foy, 36, on six counts, including two counts each of sexual battery, felony child abuse and touching a child for lustful purposes.
According to court records, the alleged crimes involved two minor girls — one under 18 and the other under 14 — and occurred at different times between Jan. 1, 2020, and Aug. 19, 2022.
Foy also allegedly tortured and physically assaulted the two girls during that period.
Foy is scheduled to be arraigned in May before Circuit Judge Lisa Dodson.
He is currently serving a 22-year sentence, according to the Mississippi Department of Corrections, and has prior arrests for domestic violence.
If convicted of the new charges, Foy could face life in prison.
