Judge keeps sex offender in custody amid flight risk
Judge Reginald Lloyd denied bond for 41 year old Richard Grey Mayson Jr citing risk of flight and threat to the community. Prosecutors noted Mayson employed a male as young as 14 at his North Augusta landscaping business and that he fled to Mexico in 1994 after 19 counts of criminal sexual conduct with minors. The bond was left at pending hearing with new charges tied to the same arrest. See MAYSON, Page 8A
