No good deed goes unpunished.
An Augusta man was arrested Tuesday in Augusta for molesting his friend’s 10-year-old girl while sleeping off a drunken stupor at the friend’s home in October.
Terry Butts, 32, of Pepperidge Drive, Augusta, is accused of non-aggravated child molestation on Oct. 29.
The victim’s mother said she had allowed Butts to sleep on her couch because she didn’t want him to drive home intoxicated, according to a sheriff’s report. He is a friend of the family.
But the victim’s mother woke up to the cries of her daughter, who was throwing up. The 10-year-old girl told her mother that she woke up as Butts began kissing her arm, touching her buttocks and rubbing her genitals over her clothes, a report says.
“The victim advised the suspect to stop, but he told her to shush her mouth,” a sheriff’s report says. “She turned the lights on and ran out of her bedroom because she wanted to throw up.”
Butts then ran from the home. He was finally arrested Tuesday and charged with molestation. He remains in jail this morning under no bond.
