FISHERS, Ind. (WISH) — Police on Thursday arrested a registered behavioral therapist from Pendleton, alleging he molested children including an infant.
An alert looking for other possible victims came Thursday night from the Fishers-based Hamilton County Metro Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force. The alert said Alec Hegge, 31, faces two child molesting charges.
Fishers Police Department Lt. Doug Baker said Hegge may not have molested other children but, because of his work with autistic people, investigators think more victims exist.
Hegge marked his second year at Changing Lives Behavior Analysis Inc. in Anderson in June, according to a Facebook post from the facility.
A news release issued Thursday night from the task force said, “Hegge told investigators he never hurt a patient because there were too many safeguards in place. Hegge is no longer employed at the facility, and they are cooperating with the investigation.”
Families who worked with Hegge and suspect victimization were asked to contact Greenfield Police Department Detective Chris Borgmann at 317-595-3467.
Hegge on Thursday night was being held without bond at Madison County jail in Anderson.
Online court records did not show that formal charges had been filed against Hegge on Thursday night.
News 8 reached out Thursday night via email to the founder and operator of Changing Lives Behavior Analysis Inc. but did not immediately receive a response.
