Rapist let out of jail!

This is pretty scary stuff! James Yarbro, Jr., the Charlotte man charged with 21 felony sex related warrants is out of jail on $25,000 cash bond and a written release.

James Yarbro, Jr. turned himself in two weeks ago after police issued a warrant for his arrest in relation to sexual charges involving his stepdaughter. He was originally held in the Mecklenburg County Jail on more than $500,000 secured bond. That bond was unsecured by a judge Friday afternoon when Yarbro posted $25,000 cash and signed a written release.

According to a search warrant obtained by WBTV News 3,
James Yarbro Jr. began sexually assaulting his stepdaughter a month after her mother left for active duty in Iraq during September of 2004. The warrant states that the young girl was raped nearly 70 times. Sometimes she was tied up with a belt and other times by velcro handcuffs. The 42-year-old man always kept a gun by the bed during the assaults.

Earlier this month, the young girl alerted her mother who reported the alleged sexual attacks to police. When officers search Yarbro's home, they found sex toys and pornography. There is no word yet on when Yarbro will return to court.
