Aiken County residents question how Richard Grey Mayson 41 of North Augusta could be released on bond after his Oct 27 arrest for kidnapping and criminal sexual conduct of a 17 year old.

Ten years prior he fled to Mexico, was convicted of multiple sexual assaults and served nine of a 20 year sentence.
