Jan. 17—ANDERSON — An Anderson man has been sentenced to six years in prison after pleading guilty to felony charges of child molesting and possession of child pornography.
Marcus P. Delvaux, 54, 1700 block of Lindberg Road, entered pleas of guilty to two counts of child molesting and a count of possession of child pornography in Madison Circuit Court Division 6.
Madison Circuit Court Division 6 Judge Mark Dudley sentenced Delvaux Friday to an executed sentence of six years at the Indiana Department of Correction and ordered him to register as sex offender for life.
The state’s case was presented by deputy prosecutor Dan Kopp.
Anderson police arrested Delvaux in August for reportedly fondling a young girl several times starting when she was 12 years old.
During a Kids Talk forensic interview, the girl said Delvaux would touch her inappropriately and that he possessed child pornography.
The investigation began following a report made on the Indiana Department of Child Services Hotline.
When interviewed, Delvaux denied any inappropriate contact.
A search warrant on his cellphone showed nude pictures of females in which their age could not be determined.
Forensic analysis of Delvaux’s cellphone and laptop found at least 10 images of child pornography, depicting sexual conduct by female children between the ages of 10 and 16.
