WARSAW — The Warsaw man who came forward stating he had molested a child in the 1990s has entered a guilty plea to child molestation, a class A felony.

David Earl Evans, 62, Warsaw, came forward in January when he informed the Warsaw Police Department that he wanted to confess to molesting a child.

The affidavit of probable cause states that when officers spoke with Evans he admitted to fondling a juvenile for sexual gratification from 1995 through 1999. When the acts began the victim was under 14 years of age. Evans performed sexual acts on the juvenile and began having sexual intercourse with her when she was in high school.

When officers spoke to the female victim she advised that she was the victim of sexual molestation and sexual misconduct by Evans throughout her life. She provided officers with details about the sex acts Evans performed while she was under 14 years of age.

A class A felony carries a possible incarceration of 20 to 50 years. If the plea agreement is accepted, it states Evans will receive no more than 20 years at the Indiana Department of Corrections. Evans will have to register as a sex offender.
