Following a series of interviews with an alleged child victim and several family members, charges were filed against a Jasonville man accused of inappropriate touching of a child under the age of 14.

Sean Douglas Neal, 31, Jasonville, was arrested late yesterday, Tuesday, March 10, on a warrant that was issued for him earlier in the day following an investigation by Det. Sgt. Shawn Cullison of the Greene County Sheriff’s Department.

An initial report was taken by GCSD Deputy Camron Frye who talked to two individuals who alleged a child had been touched inappropriately by Neal on February 7. Sgt. Cullison was contacted and the alleged victim was then interviewed at Susie’s Place in Bloomington with Sgt. Cullison and a DCS case worker observing.

When Neal was interviewed, he denied touching the child in a sexual manner.

Following those interviews and more interviews with other family members, a case was filed against Neal in Greene Circuit Court.

When the warrant was issued, the judge specified Neal’s bond would be $25,000 surety with ten percent cash allowed. After he was booked in to the Greene County Jail, Neal posted $2,500 and was released the same night.

Neal is facing a preliminary charge of child molesting – fondling or touching with a child under the age of 14, a Level 4 felony. His initial hearing is scheduled for April 1.
