BPD currently looking into child molestation

The Bloomington Police Department received a report Thursday, May 8 from the Child Services Department, inspiring an investigation of a possible child molestation.

A 9-year-old female reportedly told a grandparent that she was inappropriately touched by an 8-year-old female.

Upon further investigation, the 8-year-old was discovered to have been playing with her dolls in inappropriate ways.

BPD Sgt. Joe Crider said when children exhibit this kind sexual behavior, which is not normal for their age, it could mean they were victims of molestation.

The 8-year-old female is was taken in for a forensic interview Wednesday.

More on this story will be available as the investigation develops.
