PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — A Wilmington, Delaware man is facing charges for allegedly touching a young girl inappropriately, and police believe there could be more victims.
Michael McCarthy, 36, was arrested Saturday evening, according to New Castle County Police, after he had attended a gathering at the victim’s home.
At that gathering, police say McCarthy inappropriately touched a girl younger than 12 years old over her clothes.
The victim’s family and other people later showed up at McCarthy’s home after hearing about what happened. That’s when police were called about a disorderly group.
Police said McCarthy was in violation of a court order from July, but didn’t say what that order stated.
McCarthy was charged with unlawful sexual contact, a felony.
He was released on $2,100 unsecured bail.
New Castle County Police have urged anyone who believes they may have been a victim or anyone with information to contact them.
