On Wednesday, Austin resident Charles Sweet, 85, was booked into the Hays County Jail on one charge of Indecency With a Child, Sexual Contact, a second-degree felony.

Sweet, who was accused earlier this week of sexually abusing multiple women from 1990 to the mid-2000's, was released Wednesday on a personal recognizance (PR) bond. His bail has been set at $100,000. According to Hays County Jail records, the charge stemmed from an offense that occurred Jan. 1, 2000. Sweet's warrant was issued by Hays County Justice of the Peace Pct. 1.2 Maggie H. Moreno.

Sweet was originally arrested May 16 by Austin Police on two charges of indecency with a child by contact.
