Two other men were arrested July 25.

During the course of a two-month-long investigation by the sheriff’s office and the Mulberry Police Department, authorities discovered that three minors had been transported to the home of Michael Ray Roe, 60, in Franklin County from Mulberry where the suspects engaged in various forms of sexual contact with the victims, the sheriff’s office said.

Roe and Dillion Wayne Harrison, 19, have been arrested, according to the sheriff’s office. Roe is facing charges of rape, transportation of a minor for sexual conduct and fourth-degree sexual assault. Harrison is facing charges of transportation of a minor for sexual conduct and sexual indecency with a child, authorities said.

Records show Roe is a registered level three sex offender following a 2001 arrest on child pornography charges.

Roe was also arrested in April on 12 counts of sexual assault involving minors, according to court records.
