Richmond man charged with molesting 10-year-old girl

RICHMOND, IN — A Richmond man faces a felony charge after being accused of improper conduct with a female acquaintance's 10-year-old daughter. Quevi Rodriguez, 27, was charged on Friday, Nov. 6, in Wayne Superior Court 2, with child molesting, a Level 4 felony carrying up to 12 years in prison. According to an affidavit, Rodriguez on Sept. 11 groped the girl over her clothing and tried to force her to kiss him. The juvenile said when she tried to call out to her mother, Rodriguez placed his hand over her mouth. The child's mother told Richmond police she immediately ordered Rodriguez to leave her home. She said Rodriguez maintained it was the first time he had behaved inappropriately with her daughter and said he "did not know what came over him," the court document said. More: Richmond man charged with sexually abusing two children An officer wrote that Rodriguez apparently left Richmond after the incident. The juvenile's mother said he was possibly staying with friends in Alabama or was in the process of returning to Mexico. Indiana court records reflect no prior charges against him.
