Court Documents Reveal More On Molestation Allegations Against Claypool Man The Claypool man charged with one count of child molesting and one count of vicarious sexual gratification, both class C felonies, bonded out of jail Thursday afternoon.
Vincent C. Banks, 56, of 4873 E. Ind. 14, Claypool, was arrested and booked in the Kosciusko County Jail at 12:54 p.m. Tuesday for those charges, with a bond set at $50,250.
A probable cause affidavit was filed Thursday in Kosciusko Superior Court I and states Child Protective Services informed the sheriff's department that a girl provided information that she was touched by Banks as a young child.
According to the court documents, Banks would touch himself, put his hand on top of the child's hand to fondle the child and also had the child touch him inappropriately. The girl told investigators this happened for approximately two years.
When Banks was interviewed by police, he confirmed the story but said the alleged events occurred when the child was 5 to 6 years old and during a two-week time period.
Court papers do not indicate what year the alleged events took place.
