A former state legislator is facing a felony sex charge.

Perry Oliver Hooper Jr., 67, is charged with first-degree sex abuse, Montgomery police Capt. Saba Coleman confirmed Tuesday.

Details of the allegations against Hooper have not been disclosed and records on the case are not yet listed in Alabama’s online court system. Coleman said the alleged incident happened about 8 p.m. Aug. 16, 2022, in the 100 block of Commerce Street.

Hooper was taken into custody Tuesday by U.S. Marshals. He was booked into the Montgomery County Detention Facility at 11:56 a.m. with bond set at $15,000.

Hooper Jr., a Republican, served in the Alabama House of Representatives from District 73 until 2003, and remains active in the GOP.

1. Bond set at $15K?

He will be out of jail before dark.

2. I just looked at the 100 Block of Commerce St. on Google: Bars, Restaurants and the Hampton....

....Inn and Suites. Don't know this means, but looks like a respectable place to be seen, unless it's with your underage "girlfriend".
I hope that Perry was pulling a "Gaetz" and got caught.

3. The unspecified allegations are not helping him here.

A felony sex charge only has a $15,000 bond? That seems a bit low.
