An Indiana man is facing child molesting charges, after calling the Department of Child Services Hotline on himself.

Timothy Randall, 45, was charged with six counts of child molesting on Oct. 15.

On Oct. 13, a tip came in to the DCS Hotline that Timothy Randall was touching three children under the age of 14 inappropriately.

The three victims were forensically interviewed at the Child Abuse Services Investigation and Education (CASIE) Center that day. All three victims detailed inappropriate sexual contact with Randall.

Court documents say the first victim was molested between January 2009 and June 2014 — and again in 2018. The second victim was molested between January 2009 and December 2010. The third victim was molested between January 2008 and December 2010.

Police later learned Randall reported himself to the DCS Hotline.

In an interview with police on Oct. 13, Randall admitted to molesting the victims. He was arrested on Oct. 14, and will be in court on Oct. 29.
