Oxford, Mississippi Firefighter Faces Child Molestation Charges

OXFORD, Miss. (AP) -- An Oxford firefighter is in jail, accused of molesting 12- and 13-year-old children.

Reed Naron, 41, has been held without bond at the Lafayette County Detention Center for six weeks.

Four counts of sexual battery, each involving alleged victims between the ages of 12 and 13, have been reported to the county's sheriff's department since Sept. 21.

All of the alleged incidents took place between August 2003 and July 2004, court documents show.

Officials at the alleged victims' schools alerted deputies, prompting a probe from Lafayette County Investigator Jay Hill. State officials are searching Naron's computer for evidence of child pornography.

``This one has so far more victims than usual that we know about,'' Hill said.
