A Hampton man

accused of inappropriately touching three girls at his former residence

in Landmark Mobile Home Park claims he is innocent of the charges.

Testifying

before a local jury Tuesday morning, Curtis "Chris" Slaton said

he did not touch any of the three alleged victims who claimed he did so

while they spent the night with his stepdaughter. The girls, who were

between the ages of 10 and 11 at the time, testified Monday that they

were sleeping in the early morning hours when they awoke to find Slaton

touching them in their private areas.

The jury continued

deliberating the case late Tuesday afternoon.

Slaton faces

two charges of child molestation and one count of sexual battery. He testified

that he would enter his stepdaughter's bedroom occasionally to check on

his vehicle because there had been some vandalism in the area.

of the girls claimed Slaton touched her inappropriately approximately

10 times before. One alleged victim said she kept coming
