Pedophile who traded 15-yr-old, sexually assaulted another child freed after parents win $15m lottery
A convicted pedophile walked out of jail after his mother, who won a $15 million lottery, posted bail for him. 47-year-old Jason Wayne Carlile, who had been awaiting trial at the Wichita County Jail on a charge of aggravated sexual assault of a child, was freed after his 70-year-old mother, JoAnn Ames, paid 10% of the $100,000 bail he was being held on.
According to the Star-Telegram, Joann and her 76-year-old husband, Floyd Ames, came upon their windfall after striking it lucky with a Lotto Texas the latter had bought. They won $15.25 million in October 31 drawing and will receive around $10 million before taxes are taken out their prize money.
Jail records state that Joann posted $10,000 to free her son, though she told the court that the money had come from emptying their personal savings since she and her husband had not yet traveled to Texas to collect their prize winnings.
