LUFKIN — A 20-year-old Lufkin man was arrested Tuesday for having a sexual relationship with a 13-year-old girl. Hayden Shaw McCleskey is being charged with two first-degree counts of aggravated sexual assault of a child, an arrest report stated. The girl, who is now 14, was spending the night at McCleskey’s home with his sister on two separate occasions when the acts took place, the first in February and the second in March, according to the report.
The alleged sexual assaults were reported by the victim’s father, according to Lufkin Police Lt. David Young. In an interview with police, the girl said McCleskey knew she was only 13. After McCleskey was taken into custody, he admitted to having sex with the girl twice and that he was aware of her age, the report stated. McCleskey was booked into the Angelina County Jail, where he made a collective $50,000 bond a short time later. If convicted, he could face up to life in prison.
