FRANKLIN COUNTY — The Franklin County Sheriff’s Office arrested a West Frankfort man Friday for predatory criminal sexual assault of a child.

Sheriff David Bartoni says 23-year-old John A. Fonte-Weston is currently being held in the Franklin County Jail pending formal charging by the Franklin County State’s Attorney’s office.

Sheriff Bartoni says the investigation is a result of a complaint from the parent of a minor child who is under the age of 13 from a neighboring county.

Detectives from the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office were assisted by the Herrin Police Department and the Franklin Williamson County Child Advocacy Center in this matter.
