Mayhew made sexual innuendoes, had inappropriate sexual conversations, and inappropriately touched two juvenile boys, according to an arrest affidavit filed at the time of Mayhew’s arrest.
The two victims were ages 9 and 11 at the time of the assault, the plea agreement states.
A search warrant of Mayhew’s phone showed several photographs of boys not wearing any shirts and photographs of nude men in various sexual poses, according to a probable cause affidavit filed at the time of Mayhew’s arrest.
The rest of the charges were dropped, according to court records.
Mayhew is required to register as a sex offender and is not allowed to be around any teenagers unsupervised, have no contact with 10 individuals connected to the crime, and complete a sex offender treatment program, the plea agreement states.
