“Through that investigation they had reason to believe while he was in jail, Mr. Hunt contacted the victim of the previous case,” Hancock County Prosecutor Brent Eaton said. “And in fact [he] did so on a regular basis.”

Investigators also believe Hunt tried persuading the victim to lie in court. He is now facing more than a hundred counts of invasion of privacy and several counts of obstruction of justice.
