Richmond man arrested on child molestation charge

RICHMOND, Ind. - A Richmond man was arrested on a child molestation charge last week.




In a Facebook post, the Richmond Police Department confirmed that its officers arrested 32-year-old Damon Jackson II on Friday. A warrant was issued for his arrest after an investigation RPD described as "intensive."




The preliminary child molestation charge Jackson faces is a Level 1 Felony. The maximum penalty for a Level 1 Felony in Indiana is a 40-year prison sentence and a fine of up to $10,000.




"When it comes to protecting children, there is no room for hesitation," RPD Chief Kyle Weatherly wrote in a prepared statement. "This department will pursue every lead, every time to bring offenders to justice."




As of this article's publication, little additional information on Jackson's case had been made available.
