ABILENE, TX-- Brownwood Police arrested a Cross Plains man on Monday on a warrant served out of Taylor County, according to a report from KTXS.

Joshua Allen Harrell, 42, was arrested for and charged with indecency with a child.

Harrell is accused of molesting an Abilene girl under the age of 14 in 2014, according to court documents.

Documents allege Harrell climbed into the girl’s room and stuck his hand down her pants. Harrell allegedly threatened to hurt the girl’s family if she told anyone, according to the victim.

Police say Harrell confessed during interrogation, saying he was “curious” about the girl’s body.

Harrell was released on Tuesday after posting his $50,000 bond.

He "climbed into the girl's room". Seems like a B&E charge is applicable here. Hang every charge possible on this slug.
