A Carthage man is being held in the Jasper County Jail on a $100,000 cash bond after being arrested today on child molestation charges.
The charges are in connection with a July 5 incident at a Carthage home, according to the probable cause affidavit filed today in Jasper County Circuit Court.
A six-year-old girl said she had been touched inappropriately by Dennis Suggs. During a separate interview, another child who was in the room at the time said Suggs had touched the child between her legs with his fingers.
Suggs, his girlfriend who is the child's mother and the child were seated on a couch, according to the probable cause statement. Suggs was "tickling" the girl on her inner thighs with both hands.
After a while, the child shouted, "Hey" and covered herself.
Suggs told police he would not have touched the girl in that way.
He later told police he may have touched her there accidentally.
Again, children being victimized, we can almost predict the outcome. Plea deal, slap on the hands, back on the streets to victimize again. Are these the first victims or first time he got caught?
ReplyDeleteLaws need to change.
where in the hell was the mother at??? was she not at home and could she not hear anything? look start paying attention to all people that is interacting with your child. and dont turn a deft ear and a blind eye thata for mothers and fathers. this will keep your children a lot safer. don
ReplyDeleteYeah he should have been put in a hole. But as it stands somehow the mother recanted her story to conflict with her daughters. And this dude is living in Florida. Telling people he is the victim .
ReplyDeleteI think he did it and doesn't want to fess up he isn't the victim.
