INDIANAPOLIS -- An Indianapolis man has been arrested after possibly infecting an 8-year-old boy with HIV after the boy accused the man of molesting him, police said.
Carl Delong, 33, of Indianapolis was charged with six counts of child molestation and an additional charge of failure to warn the boy that he was HIV positive, 6News' Ericka Flye first reported on Friday.
During a taped interview with detectives, the boy said Delong
molested him on several occasions, police said.
"Apparently the victim's father was living with the suspect, and the victim would come over and visit occasionally. Several times during those visits, the victim was (allegedly) molested by Delong," Indianapolis police Sgt. Paul Thompson said.
Delong was taken into custody on Friday and held on a $50,000 bond, but he was later released after posting bail, Thompson said.
"This case is an ongoing investigation," Thompson said.
The boy's mother declined an interview with 6News, but said she "just wants justice."
