Kiln teen accused of having sex with two 12-year-old girls in Harrison County, sheriff says

An 18-year-old Kiln man was arrested on two charges of statutory rape, Harrison County Sheriff Troy Peterson said Thursday in a press release.

Drew Emile Gallardo, who now lives on Firetower Road, allegedly had sex with two 12-year-old girls when he was living at one of the victim’s homes in Harrison County.

The parents went to the sheriff’s department when they learned of the child sex crimes, Peterson said in the release.

He is held at the Harrison County jail on an $850,000 bond set by Justice Court Judge Damon Reese.
