Jury finds Fort Wayne man guilty of child molesting
FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WPTA) - Jurors found a 44-year-old Fort Wayne man guilty of child molesting this week in a case stemming back more than a decade.
Brandon Jones was charged with three counts of child molesting and one count of dissemination of matter harmful to minors. Jurors found him guilty on all counts.
Jones molested the victim when she was 5 years old in 2012, according to court documents. She told her mother in 2022, who then reported the abuse to police.
The girl described multiple assaults to a forensic interviewer at the Dr. Bill Lewis Center for Children, court records say. She also told the interviewer Jones showed her pornography.
Jones is scheduled to be sentenced on Dec. 11. He faces a potential prison sentence of more than 100 years.
