A Palm Beach County man is facing multiple felony charges after an investigation into allegations involving a child, according to court records. The Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office identified him as Sintorous Lamont Wright Jr.

Records list lewd or lascivious molestation and sexual battery charges involving a person younger than 12, along with an additional lewd or lascivious molestation charge involving a person younger than 16.

According to the probable cause affidavit, investigators opened the case in November 2025 after receiving a report of alleged abuse. The child did not give investigators a statement at an interview scheduled the following month. Detectives interviewed Wright Jr. in December 2025, and the affidavit says he denied the allegations.

The child later gave a statement in June 2026 describing multiple incidents of inappropriate contact. Detectives conducted another interview in October. A detective then requested a warrant on three charges, and the request was signed Oct. 9, 2026.

The court records provided do not show the outcome of the case. The allegations have not been proven in court.
