A warrant has been issued for the arrest of a 56-year-old business owner accused of exposing himself, masturbating and approaching young women while he was naked at his business, Grip’s Pizza in Bloomfield. According to the Indiana State Police, at the time of the alleged incidents, the man was serving as a high school and junior high golf coach at a local school, but his employment has since been terminated.

Terry J. Gilmore, 56, of Bloomfield, is wanted on preliminary charges of:

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.

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 Det. 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 season. 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.

Early this morning, Tuesday, October 15, the Greene County Prosecutor’s Office filed a criminal case against Gilmore. Charges were approved and Greene Superior Court Judge Dena Martin ordered a warrant be issued for Gilmore’s arrest.

This story will be updated at some point after Gilmore is in custody.
