According to NBC5 in D/FW, Laughlin turned himself into the Dallas County Jail Tuesday.

Laughlin is charged with continuous sexual abuse of a child younger than 14 years old, accusations he vigorously denies.

According to his attorneys, the allegations claim he continuously abused a young child a decade ago.

Attorneys said the child was not involved with the Kidd's Kids foundation, a nonprofit founded by the late Kidd Kraddick.

Laughlin previously served on the board of the foundation and had a close friendship with Kraddick until the beloved DJ's death in 2013.

Laughlin's attorneys insist he is innocent and said they'll vigorously defend against what they called "false allegations."

They said Laughlin is cooperating with Dallas detectives and "unequivocally" passed a polygraph.

The Kidd Kraddick Morning Show co-host Kellie Rasberry issued the following statement.

"I would not work for a man if I thought there was one shred of truth to this. I know him as a man and I know his character. I've seen him with children for 25 years. I believe him 100 percent. I pray that the truth comes out."

Laughlin was released Tuesday on his own recognizance and a promise to appear in court at a later date.

Prior to becoming CEO of YEA Networks in 2011, Laughlin launched GAP Broadcasting with Oaktree Capital in 2007. For the next 4 years, he served as president of GAP, which owned 60 radio stations across Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Arkansas.
