A Marion County sheriff's correction officer is facing serious charges following accusations of child molest.
Richard Alsup was arrested Tuesday after police were notified by Child Protective Services investigators.
A 14-year-old relative told authorities that Alsup had molested her for two years. She said the latest incidents happened earlier this month at the Mariners Village Apartment Complex on the city's west side.
"Although he has ties with the sheriff's dept and impd from the standpoint of who he is does not matter in reference to the investgation of criminal matters," said Lt. Jeff Duhamell, Indianapolis Metro Police Department.
When Alsup was questioned about the accusations he stated that he wasn’t sure if the incident occurred.
Alsup faces several charges including child molest, incest and sexual misconduct with a minor.
He's being held in the Marion County Jail without bond. He's currently being kept under close watch, away from the rest of the jail population.
