PENDLETON, Ind. (AP) – The technology director at the Indiana Department of Correction has been charged with molesting a child at his home on prison property.

State police say Thomas Francum is accused of molesting a child over a six-year period. He was suspended in August when the home in central Indiana was searched.

Francum lived in a leased house on the grounds of the Pendleton Correctional Facility in Madison County.

His attorney’s office declined to comment.
