MURPHY MAN ARRESTED FOR SEXUAL ASSAULTS ON A CHILD
Murphy, NC— Sheriff Derrick Palmer announced the January 09th 2017, arrest of 81 year old John Frederick Kaufman, of Murphy North Carolina for sexual assaults involving a child.
During the latter part of November 2016 a report was made that Kaufman was suspect in a child sexual assault. Pursuant to that allegation an investigation was conducted by the Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office which culminated in the January 2017 arrest of Kaufman.
Kaufman is currently in custody at the Cherokee County Detention Center under a $ 100,000.00 secure bond. Kaufman is scheduled to appear in Cherokee County District Court on January 25, 2017.
Because of the age of the victims and the sensitive nature of the incident no further information is expected to be released from this office.
Sheriff Palmer encourages any one that has information on this crime or any other to report it. To report crime in Cherokee County you can call the anonymous tip line at 828-837-1344 or email a tip at [email protected] or call 911 if you observe a crime in progress.
