Arraignment set for Mustang man on molestation charges
Carol Brimm
Judge John Wolking found sufficient probable cause to bind Wayne Payne, 70, of Mustang over on a charge of lewd acts with a child under 16 after hearing testimony from the seven-year-old alleged victim at a preliminary hearing on Friday. Count two of the charges was stricken at the request of Asst. D.A. Paul Hesse.
Payne, who is out on $40,000 bond, was charged in February after police received a complaint that Payne had touched the girl improperly on numerous occasions when she stayed at his residence after school. The girl told police that the incidents occurred when Payne’s wife was outside or sleeping. Payne denied all charges, telling officers that the girl had “gone off the deep end” according to court documents.
Wolking set the arraignment for October 24 at 1:30 p.m. If convicted, Payne could face up to 20 years in prison.
