PRESS RELEASE: Sexual Battery arrest Robert Haywood 
October 26, 2012
A Warsaw man was jailed early this morning on a criminal warrant for Sexual Misconduct with a minor. ROBERT HAYWOOD, age 77, of S. Washington Street Warsaw, was arrested at his home on a warrant alleging inappropriate and illegal sexual acts with a 14 year old mentally and physically handicapped girl. The charges resulted from a 3 month police investigation involving Haywood, a pastor at Harvest Time Ministries Church, at 4934 E. Pierceton Road, where Haywood is the pastor. The sexual allegations indicate that inappropriate sexual touching occurred in the basement of the church on or about mid- June, 2012. A second incident, involving fondling and alleged intercourse, occurred in a vehicle in a wooded area in Warsaw in late June 2012.
The female victim is reported to have significant mental and physical disabilities, which enhanced the criminal filing.
Warsaw detectives have been investigating this matter since July. After review with the Kosciusko County Prosecutor’s office, 3 counts involving the acts were filed. One count of Sexual Misconduct with a Minor, a class B felony, Sexual Misconduct with a Minor, a Class D felony, and Sexual Battery, a class D felony.
