Hinds County District Attorney Jody Owens issued the following statement.
Hinds County District Attorney Jody E. Owens, II, announces the successful prosecution of Anthony Bingham for sexual battery of a minor following a four day trial in the Circuit Court of the Second Judicial District of Hinds County.
On October 14, 2017, Bingham, 37, transported a twelve-year-old child from Vicksburg to Edwards where he proceeded to sexually assault her. Following an investigation by the Hinds County Sheriff’s Office, Bingham was quickly identified as the perpetrator.Bingham was present for each day of trial, as the State proved its case with the insurmountable evidence against him, resting its case at the end of the third day. Bingham did not show up for the final day of trial, and a bench warrant was issued for his arrest. Nevertheless, closing arguments and jury deliberations continued in absentia consistent with Mississippi law. Immediately following the verdict, Circuit Court Judge E. Faye Peterson sentenced Bingham to 30 years in prison, a sentence that is not eligible for reduction or parole. Upon release, Bingham will be required to register as a sex offender.
“This verdict and sentence sends a clear message that the citizens of Hinds County will not tolerate the abuse and exploitation of our children, and my office will do everything it takes to protect our most vulnerable citizens,” District Attorney Owens said following the verdict and sentencing. “I have the greatest confidence that the various dedicated law enforcement agencies that serve and protect the communities of Hinds County will quickly apprehend Bingham so that he can begin to pay his debt to society.
Bingham remains a fugitive from justice. Anyone with any information on the whereabouts of Anthony Bingham should contact the Hinds County Sherriff’s office at 601-352-1521 or Crimestoppers at 601-355-TIPS (8477).

Now let’s get them dope boys and killers off the streets of Hinds County and Jackson for good! Thanking you in Advance Judge!
We got to get these fools off the streets before this nonsense spill over into your neighborhood.
He won't be loose for long.
“Bingham was quickly identified as the perpetrator.”
and he’s eventually tried 5 years later, apparently free on bond in the interim.
I can understand him running. Child molesters are the least popular inmates in any prison. However, they will catch this guy and give him even more time to serve as the cellblock punching bag. I wish him much luck in prison. He is going to need it. I see manymnay many bad days for him, unless he manages to die quickly.
Good for him!

Tell us more about your experiences in prison lmaoooo
A sympathy euthanasia league representative should visit each prisoner in stir monthly, offering Kevorkian relief kits, Epstein had to crudely Macgyver his finale.
I said it before and I’ll say it again. One bullet is all it takes. Keep this kind of animal away from kids for good.
Child molester facing 30 years in prison goes missing? Has anyone checked "the woods behind his house"? Look for the circling vultures.
Had a cousin in another state serve time for touching a minor. He served his years in jail with almost no physical violence from other inmates.
I think we are all kidding ourselves with this notion that they pedos finally live a tortured life when incarcerated. We just say that to make us feel better.
10:15 - His stay at the Hilton was made comfortable because he was able to convince his fellow, innocent roommates that he was rail-roaded and the family of the child was out to get him. Sometimes that must work. Your 'cousin' is no doubt back at it now.
3:47 He probably is and perhaps your theory is correct. I have no idea.
I just think it is farcical for so many folks to self-soothe by proclaiming these monsters will receive their comeuppance in jail.
They don't. And it's a shame.
