A Marietta man was indicted on several charges of importuning as well as escape among other charges by a Washington County Grand Jury Thursday.
Joshua Lee Campbell, 23, 102 Summit Rd., Marietta, allegedly escaped Dec. 4 while under supervised release detention for importuning and was charged with a third-degree felony count for the escape, two fourth-degree felonies for importuning, one first-degree misdemeanor count of falsification, and one second-degree misdemeanor count of resisting arrest.
Campbell is a registered tier one sex offender due to a previous incident. He was investigated as a suspect in an unlawful sexual conduct minor case while being an employee of an after school program during March 2020. Campbell pleaded guilty and was convicted of importuning in March 2022.
Around Nov. 30 of this year, the Marietta Police Department initiated an investigation into Campbell having electronic communication with a juvenile female, according to detectives with the MPD.
On Dec. 4 Campbell was transported to the Washington County Jail and was charged with importuning, a fourth-degree felony. Campbell appeared Dec. 5 in Marietta Municipal Court and was being held on $15,000 plus a personal recognizance bond.
