A man is charged with 2 counts of lewd molestation after a 15 year old girl came forward last fall with accusations.
The affidavit for Alexander Ward says this case began as a DHS referral when 7 children were removed from a home.
The children were: 1, 4, 7, 11, 13, 15 and 16.
It says Ward was the father of three of them.
It says one child told their foster parent they had seen a sibling being sexually abused by Ward.
That sibling was interviewed and confirmed it.
It says she didn’t disclose it earlier, because Ward threatened to hit her and threatened to hurt her mother if she told.
These are charges, not a conviction.
