A Valley man is in the Sullivan County jail, charged with attempted employment near children by a sexual predator.

30 year old Michial Riecks of Terre Haute is a convicted child predator. Police say he tried to volunteer in the nursery at the Emmanuel Baptist church in Farmersburg.

The report said Riecks massaged a girl's shoulders and hugged a child, causing the pastor to become concerned. The report also said, at one point, Riecks became belligerent and tried to force his way into the nursery after being told he could not enter. That's when police were called.

Rieck's prior criminal history included a charge of aggravated criminal sexual abuse of a mentally disabled teen.

He is currently being held in the Sullivan County jail and should go before a judge Friday.
