TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (WTWO/WAWV) — A Terre Haute man is in custody, facing nine felony charges related to child molestation and sexual misconduct with a minor.
According to jail records Montreal T. Snodey was arrested on Monday, and is being held on $50,000 bond with no 10% allowed.
A probable cause affidavit filed in the case indicates at least four young girls have alleged numerous instances of sexual abuse from Snodey between 2019 and February of 2023.
