molestation

When she reported the alleged molestation to police, Keysha told officers that she believed the child was “embellishing” at first, until she saw the abuse firsthand by Preston, whom she was in the process of divorcing.

Of those arrested locally, most had prior criminal convictions or pending criminal charges, according to the department, which included child molestation, domestic violence, assault, various drug charges, theft and driving under the influence.

Blake told her she first learned of the molestation when she was called at work by social services and told they were beginning an investigation into Mouser.
