A 26-year-old Bloomington man was arrested on one count of child molestation Sunday. The man confessed to Bloomington Police Officer Joe Henry that while waking up a 13-year-old female relative who had stayed the night at his house he fondled her, Sgt. Jeff Canada said while reading from a police report.\nThe victim woke up while the man was fondling her, but pretended to still be asleep until he left. Later the girl told the man's wife what happened. After calling a friend, the man decided to turn himself in to the police. The man did not give a reason for committing the crime.\nOfficer Tiffany Willingham interviewed the victim, who told approximately the same story as the man, Canada said.
