Brian C. Grosch

A Mentone man has been accused of molesting a young relative and is being held on a $50,000 surety bond.

Brian Grosch, 36, was arrested Monday and charged with child molesting, stemming from the girl’s claim that he violated her on at least three different occasions which began when she was just 6 years old in 2006.

Child Protective Services were notified by the girl’s mother earlier this month about the alleged incidents which involved Grosch performing oral sex on the girl, attempting to put his hand down her pants and exposing his penis to her.

Grosch told Kosciusko County Sheriff’s Department Detective Todd Sautter that he in fact did perform oral sex on the girl told her not to tell.

Court documents have Grosch charged with a Class A felony charge.
