A 56-year-old Bloomfield man, accused of exposing himself and other inappropriate behavior at his business in Bloomfield, has been arrested and released on bond.

Terry J. Gilmore, 56, of Bloomfield, was booked into the Greene County Jail around 3 p.m. yesterday, Tuesday, October 15.

Gilmore’s bond was set at $11,500 surety with ten percent cash allowed. He posted $1,150 and was released later the same day.

Gilmore is scheduled to appear in Greene Superior Court on Monday, October 28, to be formally charged with:

Three counts of public nudity, all Class B misdemeanors,
Two counts of public indecency, both Class A misdemeanors,
One count of child seduction, a Level 6 felony, and
One count of Sexual battery, a Level 6 felony.

Gilmore has been under investigation by Detective Timothy Cummins of the Indiana State Police since August 5 when he was advised by ISP Sgt. Chris Fears of allegations from three families that Gilmore had exposed himself, masturbated and approached the young women while he was naked at his business.

According to the probable cause affidavit filed in this case, at the time of the alleged incidents, Gilmore was serving as a high school and junior high golf coach at a local school, but his employment has since been terminated.

The investigation has been ongoing since August 5 but the incidents allegedly date back to February, June and July at times when the alleged victims were employed at Gilmore’s business.

Numerous interviews were conducted with three alleged victims including one who was between 16 and 18 years of age, parents and friends.

Gilmore was also interviewed at the Indiana State Police Post in Bloomington with his attorney present. According to a probable cause affidavit prepared by Det. Cummins, Gilmore said he did not believe the incidents happened and that the girls were not telling the truth, but he also said he struggles with memory loss due to a couple of earlier injuries. Gilmore allegedly said he had gotten heatstroke and could not remember anything for a three-day time period when one of the incidents allegedly occurred. Det. Cummins noted Gilmore did not seek medical treatment for heatstroke and there was no clinical or medical documentation of being diagnosed with memory loss.

In addition to Det. Cummins and Sgt. Fears, ISP Det. Stacy Brown, Det. Brian Smith and Bloomfield Deputy Marshal Jordan Allor also assisted in the investigation.

According to Det. Cummins, when he spoke to Superintendent Jeff Gibboney of the Bloomfield School District on October 9, Gibboney said Gilmore had been employed at BSD as the high school and junior high golf coach. Gilmore was a lay coach who started in this position in July of 2017 then coached in the 2017-18 and 2018-19 seasons and was going to coach the 2019-20 seasons. However, Gibboney advised the detective that he had terminated Gilmore as a coach on August 6, which was the day after Det. Cummins began his investigation. Det. Cummins noted that at the time of the alleged criminal incidents, Gilmore was employed by the Bloomfield School District as a coach and had authority over students.

As a result of the investigation, the Greene County Prosecutor’s Office filed a criminal case against Gilmore early Tuesday morning, October 15. Charges were approved and Greene Superior Court Judge Dena Martin ordered a warrant be issued the same day for Gilmore’s arrest.

Defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty.
