65 year old Thomas A. Overton, of rural Roanoke was arrested Monday afternoon and charged with child molesting, a Class A Felony. Overton is also a lecturer at IPFW.
According to detectives, during a school program that educated children on “good touch, bad touch” a Huntington county juvenile boy came forward about an incident which allegedly occurred in 2002. The victim told authorities that he had received inappropriate touching by an adult male at a residence in rural Huntington, and that the touching was coupled with threats of violence against him if he told anyone.
