A 19-year-old Fayetteville man has been charged with child molestation stemming from an early December incident involving a 4-year-old girl for whom he was babysitting for a Tyrone family.
Harrell T. Moore, of South Jeff Davis Drive, was arrested Feb. 6 on charges of child molestation, according to Tyrone Police Detective Philip Nelson.
Though few details are available, Nelson said the department received a report in early December pertaining to the allegation that Moore had molested a 4-year-old girl at her home in Tyrone. Moore at the time was babysitting when the incident occurred, Nelson said.
Nelson added that the girl was not physically harmed.
