Teen Kidnapped by Ex-Convict | Jackson News

A 23-year-old man, Ladarius Thompson, faces brutal charges including kidnapping, child exploitation, human trafficking, and sexual battery after a 15-year-old boy vanished in June—only to be found weeks later with Thompson, who allegedly engaged in repeated sexual acts and received explicit images. The teen reportedly used the money to cover their hotel stays in Jackson. Thompson’s bond? A jaw-dropping $14 million—with strict bans on all contact with children, including his own toddler. Even more chilling: he was just released from prison in January after a plea deal for accessory to capital murder. This case is a stark reminder of the justice system’s relentless pursuit of accountability and child safety. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
