ELKHART COUNTY, Ind. -- A 43-year-old man is facing almost a dozen felony charges after allegedly molesting three children beginning in around 2014.

The suspect, Justin Thompson, is charged with 11 counts of Child Molesting by fondling or touching a child under 14, as Level 4 Felonies.

Thompson's initial hearing was Tuesday afternoon. No other court dates have been scheduled at this time.

According to case documents, three victims came forward between January and May alleging Thompson had molested them when they were under the age of 14.

Thompson allegedly had the victims massage him, during which the molestation reportedly happened.

Upon interviewing Thompson in March, investigators say he admitted to paying the victims to massage him but denied molesting them.
