52-Year-Old Charged for Unlawful Sex with Minor, 15

Jose Ardon

A fifteen-year-old girl accuses a man more than three times her age of sexually abusing her for almost a year. Fifty-two-year-old Jose Ardon was initially charged with two counts of unlawful sexual intercourse with the minor, but today he was read an additional nine counts before Senior Magistrate Aretha Ford. According to the minor, the abuse started when she was fourteen years and two months old in August of 2016 and continued until she turned fifteen in June of 2017. Ardon was first charged in 2016 and was out on bail from the Supreme Court, so he was allowed to go free based on the same conditions. He returns to court on February twelfth.
