COVID relief grants available to Pike County businesses By Andy Heuring An Otwell man was arrest- ed for child molesting, a level 1 felony, and child exploitation, after a neighbor walked in on him when it was happening. Timothy Steven Gray, 54, of of 2370 N. Spring St., Otwell, was arrested Sunday night af- ter the girls' mother called po- lice. She told police a neighbor saw it happening. Pike County Deputy Mi- chael Willis said he went to the mother's residence and spoke with her. She said Gray had sexually assaulted her daughters and a neighbor had seen it. Willis then talked to the neighbor, who said he had gone to Gray's residence to tell him a water inspector was there to talk to Gray. The neighbor said there were no lights on upstairs, but he saw a light on through the base- ment door. When he went to the basement door, he said he could see into the basement and saw Gray having sex with one girl, with a younger girl sitting next to them. According to a probable cause affidavit, the neighbor told Deputy Willis that in past conversations with Gray, Gray had said if he ever got arrest- ed again, he would commit suicide. Police were told Gray was leaving his residence. So Wil- lis located him and pulled him over on CR 1000 E. Willis said he placed Gray in handcuffs because he was "highly upset and emotional." He then asked Gray if he knew why he was stopped. Accord- ing to the affidavit, Gray an- swered, "Yeah, but I did not do it. I swear I did not do it." Willis said Petersburg Corp. Scott Arnold arrived and took Gray to a remote location, while Willis went back to talk to the mother and neighbor. The neighbor gave a sworn statement, saying when he walked up to the door, he had a hard time believing what he was seeing. He knocked on the door and saw one girl, who Gray was performing a sex act on, get up. He said the girl and Gray were naked. According to the affidavit, the neighbor said he told Gray the water inspector was there to see him, and the neighbor took both girls and put them in his van, then took them to their mother. He returned to Gray's house and confronted him about what he saw, and said the mother was contacting police. The mother told Willis she talked with the oldest girl, who told her it had been go- ing on for sometime. Willis, at 1:09 a.m., inter- viewed Gray. According to the affidavit, Gray initially de- nied the allegations and said he didn't understand why the girls and his friend would make the allegations. Then, later, he admitted it had been going on for about two years. He also told Willis they had been watching pornography before the sex act occurred. Gray was charged with child molesting, or other sex- ual conduct with a child under 14, a level 1 felony, and child exploitation/child pornogra- phy, a level 5 felony. He is be- ing held in the Pike County Jail on a $ 350,000 bond. A level 1 felony is punish- able by 20 to 40 years. A level 5 felony is punishable by one to six years. Gray arrested for felony child molestation, exploitation VFW sets 50 flags at Walnut Hills Petersburg Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 3587 lined the drive into Walnut Hills Cemetery with 50 U.S. flags this past Saturday.
