A Bolivar man is in custody after state police said he inappropriately touched a child several times last year, according to court papers.

David Allen Luther, 74, is charged with indecent assault, corruption of minors and child endangerment.

The accusations were reported in January. The child’s age and gender were not clear from court papers, but one of the charges indicated the child was younger than 13.

The child told police and forensic interviewers that Luther touched them inappropriately three to four times between June and December. Luther admitted to the inappropriate contact during an interview with police, according to court papers.

He was being held on $25,000 bail at the Westmoreland County Prison. Luther did not have an attorney listed in online court records. An April 1 preliminary hearing is set.
