Police have arrested a Washington man accusing him of sexually abusing a boy over a six-year period. Washington Police charged Armando Bruno-Morales, 55, with three counts of child molesting on Sunday. Officers say they began an investigation into the abuse after being contacted by the family and after interviewing Bruno arrested him.
In a probable cause affidavit filed in Daviess Superior Court, Washington City Police Detective Daniel Christie says that the victim claimed the sexual abuse began in 2008 when he was 8 years old. The victim claimed Bruno had been a pastor at a church the family attended and lived with them briefly and later stayed as an occasional overnight guest. It was during that time that police say the molestation began.
Officers say Bruno had been serving as a pastor at an Hispanic Church on W. Main Street while the alleged abuse took place.
