MEMPHIS, Tenn. — The man accused of throwing a baby in a dumpster behind a Whitehaven business has now been indicted on new charges, the Shelby County District Attorney’s Office announced.

The new charges are two counts of trafficking for commercial sex act, promoting prostitution between the age of 12 and 18, continuous sexual abuse of a child and aggravated statutory rape.

He is being held on a $1.25 million bond.

James Boothe was originally charged with Abuse of a Corpse. On Friday morning, it was “dismissed due to lack of prosecution,” but he is still in custody and will face five additional charges.

The D.A.’s Office released the following statements,

“Although probable cause was not found today in General Sessions Court, this investigation is not over, and Mr. Booth remains in custody. Our office has indicted Mr. Booth on five additional charges based on evidence from this case and continues to review the abuse of a corpse allegation for potential indictment along with the additional charges. Keep in mind that when charges are dismissed in general sessions, it does not preclude us from still pursuing an indictment and moving forward as more evidence becomes available.”

Back in January, police say a 16-year-old gave birth while she was on her way to the hospital. That is when they say Boothe took the baby and placed the baby in a dumpster behind a Shell gas station at 1312 East Shelby Drive.

After searching the area, officers said they found the baby dead.

Boothe was arrested the next day and held in jail on a $250,000 bond. He appeared in court on January 30, where a judge told him he could spend 1 to 6 years in prison if convicted.

Court records also say the 16-year-old admitted to being in a relationship with 45-year-old Boothe for three years.
