A 21-year-old Fort Wayne man is in custody after a witness reported a suspected sexual relationship between him and a 13-year-old girl. Court records reveal disturbing details of the case, leading to his arrest on two counts of child molesting.
Witness Alerted Police to Suspicious Activity
Authorities say the investigation began in November when a concerned witness contacted the police. The witness suspected Devin Foreman, 21, was engaging in an inappropriate relationship with the young girl while both were staying in his apartment.
When officers arrived at the scene, Foreman allegedly did not resist. Instead, he repeatedly told officers to “take me to jail.” When pressed for an explanation, he reportedly admitted to having engaged in “sexual things with the victim.” Further questioning confirmed that Foreman was aware the girl was just 13 years old.
Victim’s Statement Confirms Repeated Encounters
Court documents show the girl told investigators she had met Foreman only a month prior to his arrest. Despite the short time frame, she stated that they had engaged in sexual intercourse multiple times over several weeks.
Investigators gathered enough evidence to support the claims, leading to an official warrant for Foreman’s arrest. The warrant was executed Tuesday, and he was taken into custody at Allen County Jail.
Legal Consequences and Community Reaction
Foreman now faces two serious felony charges of child molesting. If convicted, he could face a lengthy prison sentence under Indiana law. The legal system treats such cases with the utmost severity, given the nature of the crime and the vulnerability of the victim.
The case has sent shockwaves through the local community, with many expressing concerns over the safety of minors and the need for stricter vigilance. Authorities urge anyone with information on similar cases to come forward to prevent further exploitation of children.
