LINCOLN COUNTY, N.C. — A Gastonia man is facing charges after deputies said he sexually assaulted a minor last summer.
According to the Lincoln County Sheriff's Office, deputies received a report in January of sexual assaults that happened around July or August 2020. The victim, who was known by the suspect, interviewed with detectives at the Lincoln County Child Advocacy Center. During that interview, detectives gathered enough evidence to seek charges against the suspect, Calvin Alexander Fair.
Fair, 18, was charged with one felony count each of statutory rape of a child and statutory sex offense with a child and crime against nature. Fair was served the warrants at the Gaston County Jail, where he was being held on an unrelated charge. Fair is being held under a $770,000 bond.
