FREETOWN, Ind. (WISH) — A Jackson County man was arrested Monday after police say he admitted to sexually assaulting a 15-year-old boy.
The Jackson County Sheriff’s Department made the arrest announcement Wednesday.
Jackson County deputies around 8:48 p.m. Sunday received a report of a sexual assault occurring in Freetown on Sunday morning.

Moore was being held at the Jackson County jail without bond.
Online jail records show he was facing charges of rape, child solicitation, sexual misconduct with a minor, and sexual battery.
A court date has not been set yet.
