BROWNSTOWN, Ind. (WISH) - Two Jackson County men were arrested Thursday on charges they molested a 9-year-old boy.

Indiana State Police say their investigation began in January following a tip from a case worker with Jackson County Division of Family Services.

Paul Stanton faces two counts of child molestation, one Class A Felony and one Class C Felony, while Jerry Stanton faces one Class A Felony charge of child molesting. Both men were booked into the Jackson County Jail.
