A deputy with the Johnson County Sheriff’s Office responded in September to a home in Greenwood on a child molesting complaint, according to charging documents filed Monday in Johnson County Circuit Court.
The child told police she was lying in bed and Huffman was lying behind her when he touched her inappropriately three times, according to court documents.
The victim also told police the touching only stopped when she pushed his hand away. Huffman later apologized to the girl and told her not to tell anyone that it happened, court documents said.
The child’s mother told police she was talking to her daughter about body safety in September, and the victim told her mother that Huffman had touched her, court documents said.
Police attempted to interview Huffman, but at the time of the initial interview earlier this month, Huffman told police he would not be interviewed without an interpreter, because he is Deaf. There was not an interpreter immediately available, court documents said.
Police later contacted him and said an interpreter would be paid for by the sheriff’s office. His lawyer returned the call and said Huffman would not be interviewed, according to court documents. He was arrested and taken to to the Johnson County jail, where he is held on $40,000 bond.
