Three charged and jailed on child sex charges in Jackson County

Three people are jailed in the Jackson County Adult Detention Center on child sex charges.

In early April, investigators followed up on information they received from the Mississippi Department of Child Protection Services regarding the alleged abuse of a 14-year-old girl. The abuse supposedly occurred to the victim from ages four to 12 at homes in Biloxi and St. Martin.

Sheriff Mike Ezell says a search warrant served at the home in St. Martin turned up evidence supporting the victim’s claims. Investigators also found child sexual abuse material on devices owned by the homeowner, Travis Wade.

Forty-eight-year-old Wade is charged with two counts of possession of child pornography. His bond is $500,000.

Christian Baylis, 33, is charged with one count of sexual battery and one count of possession of child pornography. Her bond is $750,000.

Forty-eight-year-old Robert Baylis is charged with one count of sexual battery and one count of production of child pornography. His bond is $750,000.
