A Birmingham man is under arrest and accused of sex crimes against a young girl.

John Paul Robert McCuistion, 31, is charged with sex abuse of a child under the age of 12 and enticing a child for immoral purposes. A Jefferson County grand jury indicted him on Nov. 18, and he was taken into custody on Tuesday.

According to court records, the incident happened on June 4. The indictment states that McCuistion "did willfully and knowingly, with lascivious intent, entice, allure, persuade or invite (the child) to enter a vehicle, room, house, office or place, to wit: bedroom, for the purpose of proposing to said child the fondling or feeling of the sexual or genital parts of the said child."

McCuistion was released from the county jail Wednesday morning after posting $45,000 bond.
