Russell E. Gant - Claims the DEVIL made him molest that girl!

Gant admitted to touching the victim
and blamed the devil for his behavior


A 34-year-old man who told a sheriff’s detective that the devil made him touch and fondle a girl was arrested Tuesday and charged with lewd and lascivious conduct on a 12-year-old, according to a Marion County Sheriff’s Office report.

The victim told Detective Anthony Riggins that about seven years ago Russell E. Gant took her to an abandoned building and, once inside, pushed her against a wall and inappropriately touched her.

Riggins then contacted Gant, and he agreed to come to the Sheriff’s Office for an interview. During the interview, Gant admitted to touching the victim and blamed the devil for his behavior. Gant also told the detective that he regretted doing it and asked for forgiveness.

He was arrested and taken to the Marion County Jail.
