A Franklin County man has been arrested for sexually assaulting a child.

23-year-old John A. Fonte-Weston of rural West Frankfort was arrested Friday for predatory sexual assault of a child.

Sheriff David Bartoni said the investigation is a result of a complaint from the parent of a minor child who is under the age of 13 from a neighboring county. Fonte-Weston is being held in the Franklin County Jail pending formal charges.
