On February 3, Florida’s Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office (JSO) announced the arrest of a 37-year-old traveling church musician who was picked up and charged with the sexual battery of a 13-year-old Florida girl.  Police have identified their suspect as Ronnie Lee Graham, 37, a musician known to travel to various churches in the Jacksonville, Florida, and Douglas, Georgia, areas.

There are additional charges levied against Graham, and worse yet, law enforcement officials already know that there are more child victims out there.

Background:  On Thursday, January 22, 2024, the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office received information that an adult male had sexually battered a 13-year-old girl. As detectives followed up and investigated this incident, they also discovered the adult male suspect was potentially involved sexually with another juvenile. After being able to identify their child predator as Ronnie Lee Graham, police issued an arrest warrant in bis name.

On January 31, 2024, with the assistance of the United States Marshals Service, Graham was located in Douglas, Georgia, and arrested on charges of Sexual Battery, Kidnapping, and Lewd and Lascivious Battery. As of this writing, Graham is awaiting extradition back to Jacksonville.

The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office is seeking additional information from the public to help identify any other potential victims. If you have or know someone who has information to assist in this investigation, please contact the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office Special Assault Unit at 904-630-2168 or email JSOCrimeTips@jaxsheriff.org.
