Man found guilty after he was found performing sex acts with 12-year-old

INDIANAPOLIS — A Westville man was recently found guilty of multiple child molestation charges after he was found performing sexual acts with a 12-year-old.

According to court documents, Jonathan Curren was recently found guilty after a jury trial in Marion County of

• One count of attempting to commit child molesting, a Level 1 felony
• One count of child molesting, a Level 4 felony
• One count of child molesting, a Level 1 felony
• Two misdemeanor counts of invasion of privacy

After the jury trial, court documents indicate that Currin pleaded guilty to the habitual sentencing enhancement.

According to the documents, detectives with the child abuse unit of the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department began an investigation into a reported child molestation incident in the 3400 block of Central Ave.

As part of the investigation, a woman told officers that a family member, later identified as Currin, was found with a 12-year-old girl while he was naked from the waist down. The 12-year-old later told police that Currin molested her.

When Currin was found with the girl, the woman reportedly told Currin that she was going to call the police, but Currin grabbed her phone and “refused to give it back.”

According to court documents, Currin’s sentencing is scheduled for Nov. 25.
