Brewton man jailed for abuse

An 18-year old Brewton man is facing several sex charges after being arrested for sexually abusing an 11-year old boy.

Tristan Dakota Sinclair, 834 McGougin Road, is charged with two counts of sodomy I, sexual abuse of a child under the age of 12 and two counts of enticing a child for immoral purposes.

During a bond hearing Monday before District Judge Eric Coale, District Attorney Steve Billy recommended a bond of $300,000, which was granted by Judge Coale. Conditions of his bond, should he be released, are that Sinclair is to have no contact with the alleged victim or any child under the age if 18. He will also be placed under house arrest and required to wear a GPS monitor.

According to court records, Sinclair is accused of engaging in deviate sexual intercourse with the child on or about June 13, 2020. He is also accused of enticing the child to enter his bedroom with the intent of fondling the child and proposing a sex act with the child. He's also accused of actually fondling the child.

When asked if he had a prior criminal record, Sinclair told Judge Coale "Not that I'm aware of".

Billy also told the judge that there was a prior incident with Sinclair through the Escambia County Department of Human Resources that has not been pursued at this point.

Prior to setting the bond, Judge Coale asked Sinclair if he had anything to say in relation to the bond and not to discuss the facts of the case.

"I didn't do it," Sinclair said.
