WICHITA FALLS, TX (KAUZ) –
A man is behind bars charged with Indecency with a child following a call to Wichita Falls Police.
On April 26 a licensed therapist reported that one of her patients, a 14-year-old girl, made an outcry of sexual abuse against Russell William Detwiler, 74.
The victim was interviewed about the outcry at Patsy’s House by a trained forensic interviewer.
During that interview, the victim said Detwiler had touched her inappropriately on more than one occasion.
The investigator spoke to the victim’s mother who said she had previously confronted Detwiler about these allegations. …
A check of the Sacred Heart Catholic Church website directory shows Detwiler listed as a deacon for the Parish.
Newschannel 6 is working to learn if Detwiler is still a deacon there.
