Giles charged on lascivious acts with child

Kevin Jay Giles, 43, 402 N. Oak St., was charged on a Union County warrant for lascivious acts with a child at 6:43 p.m. Thursday.

According to a Union County Sheriff report, on or about Dec. 28, the Creston Police Department was contacted by the parents of a minor child born after Jan. 1, 2004. The parents reported the child had been a party to inappropriate physical contact with Giles.

The child participated in a forensic interview conducted with the assistance of the Department of Human Services child abuse assessment investigator. The child confirmed the initial report that an adult had touched the child in an inappropriate manner and that he touched her genital area. Subsequent interviews resulted in the discovery of separate information which corroborated the allegation made by the child.

Giles was being held awaiting appearance before the magistrate.
