Terre Haute man admits to molesting young child

TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (WTHI) – A Terre Haute man will spend four years in prison after admitted he molested a child he babysat.

That’s the sentenced a judge handed down to Joshua Schatz, 25, pursuant to a plea agreement. The deal also calls for Schatz to spend two years on formal probation once his prison time is served.

He’ll also have to register as a sex offender and stay away from the victim in his case.

The sentencing concludes a case that was filed back on May 8, 2015. The incident was reported to Terre Haute Police the day before.
