Authorities: Missouri man abused girl day of prison release

(AP) – Authorities say a Springfield man began abusing a girl
on the same day he was released from prison after serving eight years for child molestation.The Springfield News-Leader reports that 36-year-old Joshua Fullington was
charged earlier this month with three counts of statutory sodomy after
authorities say he sexually abused a girl several times over a five-year period.

Court documents show Fullington was released from prison Aug. 22, 2012. Court documents in the most recent case say a girl younger than 15 told Child Advocacy Center interviewers this month that Fullington had been sexually abusing her.

Fullington is being held in the Greene County Jail on $500,000 bond.

A phone message left by The Associated Press seeking comment from Fullington’s attorney wasn’t immediately returned.
