Jupiter man charged with lewd molestation against children

A Jupiter man was being held at the St. Lucie County Jail Wednesday on six counts of lewd and lascivious molestation of people between the ages of 12 and 16, and one of molestation of someone younger than 12.

Daniel Duane Slaughter, 46, who lives in the 5800 block of Keith Road, was being held without bond, records show.

Three warrants were served on him Tuesday at the jail, where he was being held on earlier counts, records show.

The warrant cases stem from complaints from three girls that Slaughter touched them inappropriately and forced them to fondle him, according to arrest affidavits.
