A Lubbock jury was seated on Monday evening for the trial of Nathan Grassie, 49, who was accused of sexually abusing several children in his home.
Grassie was initially arrested in 2022. EverythingLubbock.com previously reported Grassie faced four counts against him related to child sex crimes. One charge was later dropped. Grassie went before a jury in 2023, however, the presiding judge granted a mistrial. Grassie was allowed to stay at home on confinement with GPS monitoring. However, Grassie went back to jail in January of 2024 due to violating those conditions. He posted a $100,000 bond just days later. Since then, he has been under travel restrictions, GPS monitoring and prohibited from contact with any victims or any minors.
In one case, court documents stated sexual abuse started when the child was younger then 10 years old. EverythingLubbock.com withheld many details in the warrant because they are graphic.
