ANDERSON, Ind. (The Herald Bulletin) - A man facing child molestation charges allegedly forced an 8-year-old victim to perform 88 sexual acts over a two year period.
The 8-year-old victim told police that 33-year-old Joshua Anderson touched her when her mother would go to work, starting when she was 6 years old, according to a probable cause affidavit.
The child told police Anderson threatened to kill her if she told anyone about the acts, 24-Hour News 8's news partner The Herald Bulletin reports.
Anderson was arrested Sunday and denied ever touching the girl.
The child says he touched her about 16 times, forcing her to perform a specific sexual act 88 times. According to the affidavit, the most recent abuse happened Friday night when Anderson allegedly touched the child and made her watch child pornography on his cell phone.
