A New Albany man was arrested Monday on a warrant after he allegedly admitted to molesting a young girl.
On Friday, a warrant was issued in Floyd County Circuit Court for the arrest of Robert D. Kron, 43, of New Albany.
Kron is charged with two counts of child molestation, class A felonies. He was accused of molesting a 6-year-old girl and a 4-year-old boy who had been visiting and staying overnight at his residence on the 1600 block of King Street from May 2007 to April, according to a probable cause affidavit. Kron was described by the mother as a family friend.
The girl told a worker at the Child Advocacy Center that Kron forced her to touch him orally. Both children said he touched their genitals.
The affidavit states that on July 25, Kron failed a polygraph examination performed by the Indiana State Police. After the polygraph, Kron admitted to detectives that he molested the girl on two separate occasions.
Kron has only been charged with molesting the girl.
