On 11/17/22, Mt. Carmel Police arrested Mary R. Compton, age 65, of Mt. Carmel, for Permitting the Sexual Abuse of a Child. This arrest resulted from a follow-up investigation to the earlier arrests of Joshua A.R. Anderson and Kiara Graves, who have both been sentenced to the Illinois Department of Corrections for Criminal Sexual Assault. It is alleged that Compton knew of their illegal behavior and allowed it to occur inside her home while she was present. Compton was secured in the Wabash County Jail pending a pre-trial detention hearing.
