Anniston man charged with molesting 6 year old daughter

Anniston Police have arrested a 33 year old Anniston man accused of engaging in sexual contact with his 5-year-old daughter for the past year.  The father has been charged with felony first-degree sexual abuse.  Police say the abuse had taken place in a hotel room in Indiana, in a friend’s Oxford home, and in a foreign country, where the suspect had been serving as a missionary.   The suspect was arrested after he told a friend with whom he had been staying that he had been molesting his daughter, who is now 6.  Police say the friend told another person about the abuse and that person reported the suspect to Anniston police.  The suspect was interviewed by investigators after he returned from his mission trip on Saturday, where the suspect admitted to the abuse during the interview. The suspect has been released on a $15,000 bond from the Anniston City Jail .
