UNEDITED INTERVIEW: Alleged Victim Speaks
UPDATE: More Victims Come Forward
Raw Interview: Alleged Victim Speaks Out
NEW FRIDAY
Jack Pierce Jr. is back in jail after the woman who posted bond for him decided she wanted her money back, according to Kanawha County Magistrate Ward Harshbarger.
Harshbarger says she posted $5,000 for Pierce's release Wednesday night. After she asked for it back, police went out and re-arrested him. His bond is still set at $50,000 property or 10% cash.
Jack Pierce Jr., 61 of Monroe Street in St. Albans, is charged with one count of first degree sexual abuse.
Deputies say the student was a 14-year-old boy -- and the crime allegedly happened three-and-a-half years ago during a sleepover.

The victim told deputies that Pierce then began to finger his belly button, telling him that it was the "most erotic place on the body;" and he even asked the victim to "be his 'boy' and join him in New York City," according to the complaint.
Deputies stated in the complaint that Pierce then started fondling the victim through his pants, causing the teen to feel uncomfortable.
"The next morning, the victim told his mother what had happened and she took both of her sons out of voice and piano lessons," investigators wrote in the complaint.
Deputies say Pierce volunteered to take a polygraph test, but failed it. During the interview, deputies say he denied any wrongdoing with the victim, but admitted to having a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old student in January 1994, but said the student turned 18 in March the same year and the relationship continued.
According to the criminal complaint, deputies seized items from Pierce's house including several calendars "which were very detailed showing who spent the night at his house and who he took on various trips." The calendars date back to 1990.
Deputies are hoping that if there are more victims out there they come forward and talk to investigators. They say Pierce is currently teaching approximately 200 students in piano and voice lessons.
