A Knox man is facing multiple felony charges following an investigation into allegations of sexual abuse involving a minor.

The Starke County Sheriff’s Office worked with Indiana’s Department of Child Services to investigate the case and identified Richard Gast as a suspect.

Gast was arrested Monday in Starke County on outstanding warrants.

Prosecutors charged him with two counts of rape and two counts of sexual misconduct with a minor, including one Level 4 felony and one Level 5 felony.

Gast is being held at the Starke County Justice Center on a $250,000 cash bond.
