Grant County Man Arrested for Child Molestation

Miami County – Yesterday, a criminal investigation by Indiana State Police Detective Michelle Jumper resulted in the arrest of Kevin Brown, 25, Swayzee, IN, for a felony charge of child molestation.

Detective Jumper started an investigation after receiving information, from the Miami County Division of the Indiana Department of Child Services, that a Miami County girl had possibly been molested. Detective Jumper’s investigation revealed that Brown had allegedly committed a sexual act on a then 12-year-old girl. The alleged crime occurred at a Miami County home between August 1, 2015 and January 31, 2016.  
 
Yesterday, Brown surrendered to deputies at the Miami County Jail. He was then served a Miami Circuit Court arrest warrant alleging a single charge for child molestation.
 
All criminal defendants are to be presumed innocent until, and unless proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
