Inmate Brags About Sex With Child, Gets Beaten

Jul 30, 2007

An Easley man who was arrested on sex charges ended up punched by other inmates who didn't like him talking about having sex with a minor.

Pickens deputies said that Thomas Jerome Sadler, 30, was arrested after investigators said that they determined that he had molested a 10-year-old girl several times between June 27 and July 27.

The booking report said that after Sadler was booked into the Pickens County Detention Center, he was bragging about having been with a 15-year-old girl. The other inmates did not like what he was saying, so they punched Sadler in the eye.

The report said that Sadler "did not wish to press charges."

He is charged with a lewd act on a minor under 14.
