MONTGOMERY COUNTY, Texas \u2013 A lengthy search for a Montgomery County man accused of sexually abusing a child ended July 27 when authorities found him in Louisiana, the Montgomery County Sheriff\u2019s Office<\/a> announced on Saturday.<\/p>\n

James Michael Nona was initially investigated after the sheriff\u2019s office received a report in July 2023 involving alleged sexual abuse of a child under 14. Investigators said the child reported that Nona had abused them over a period of years.<\/p>\n

As detectives with the agency\u2019s Special Victims Unit worked the case, they learned Nona had left Texas after becoming aware of the investigation. Authorities later located him in Choctaw County, Oklahoma, where they say he was living under the name \u201cJordan Hill.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nona was arrested in Oklahoma, returned to Montgomery County and booked on a charge of continuous sexual abuse of a young child or disabled individual. Investigators also received information suggesting there could be additional victims connected to his time in Oklahoma. Those allegations remain under investigation by law enforcement agencies there.<\/p>\n

Nona was released on bond in October 2024. More than a year later, authorities say he removed his court-ordered GPS monitor and disappeared while the Montgomery County case was still pending.<\/p>\n

The investigation into his whereabouts led detectives to Louisiana, where they say Nona had been using the names \u201cTrevor Craw\u201d and \u201cDusty Crawford.\u201d His arrest followed an extended effort involving the Montgomery County Sheriff\u2019s Office SWAT Team, the U.S. Marshals Service and the Galveston Police Department.<\/p>\n

Nona was transported to the Montgomery County Jail following his arrest.<\/p>\n

The Sheriff\u2019s Office is asking anyone who believes they may have been victimized by Nona\u2014or who has information that could assist investigators\u2014to contact the agency at 936-760-5800 and reference case No. 23A209127.<\/p>\n
