A preliminary hearing is scheduled for July 11 for an Elkhorn man charged with touching a 10-year-old girl about three years ago.
Neal R. Moss, 59, was charged June 6 in Walworth County Circuit Court with first-degree sexual assault, contact with a child younger than 13 years old.
While investigating Moss for possession of child pornography, police discovered a non-pornographic photo of a now-14-year-old girl on Moss’ computer and questioned the girl’s mother, according to police. The girl’s mother said she and her children used to visit Moss at his Elkhorn home but stopped about two years earlier when the girl said Moss put his hand in the back waistband of her pants, according to the complaint.
Police spoke to the girl, who said she and her sister went to Moss’ home numerous times before her 11th birthday to be babysat by Moss and his wife. On two occasions, she said, Moss put his hand down her pants and touched her buttocks, according to the complaint. On one occasion, while looking at Moss’ family photos on his computer, she saw a pornographic picture of an adult man with children, according to the complaint.
