Two men accused of sex crimes against juveniles were arraigned Wednesday in Lawrence County Common Pleas Court.

William M. Morrison, 37, of 140 Private Drive 2482 County Road 1, South Point, pleaded not guilty to the first-degree rape of a 13-year-old girl. Morrison was represented by attorney J. T. Holt.

Judge Charles Cooper continued a $150,000 bond from municipal court and set a pretrial for Oct. 17.

According Lawrence County Sheriff Jeff Lawless, the alleged victim in the case called her father and said she had been raped by Morrison at the man’s home.

When the girl’s father went to the Morrison residence, Morrison allegedly fled in a vehicle. Morrison later turned himself into authorities.
