Hearings pushed back for former reserve sheriff’s deputy accused of child molesting

Nine months after being arrested on two charges of child molesting, a former Bartholomew County Sheriff’s reserve deputy remains without a criminal attorney.

Larry L. Scott, 73, of 3281 N. County Road 625E, Hope, told Bartholomew Superior Court 1 Judge James Worton Monday he won’t know for another three weeks if he’ll have money to hire a criminal lawyer to represent him.

On Monday, a hearing regarding status of attorney prompted Worton to postpone most of the hearings regarding Scott until late this summer.

Arrested on July 22, 2018, Scott is accused of molesting a 12-year-old boy while volunteering as a night-time security supervisor at Ceraland Park on County Road 525E.
