Times Record

A Wichita Falls man has been accused of inappropriately touching a child several years ago.

Russell William Detwiler, 74, is charged with indecency with a child by sexual contact. He was booked into Wichita County Jail Thursday morning and was being held in lieu of $10,000 bail.

According to an arrest warrant affidavit:

A licensed therapist reported to Wichita Falls police that a 14-year-old patient made an outcry of sexual abuse against Detwiler.

The girl was forensically interviewed at Patsy’s House Child Advocacy Center. During the interview, the girl said one time while she was at Detwiler’s house he placed his hand inside her pants and was “feeling around.” She said he touched her inappropriately but did not penetrate her digitally.
