Sunman man sentenced in child molesting case

Versailles, In. — A Sunman man has been sentenced to 50 years after admitting to having sex with his girlfriend’s seven-year-old daughter at the home they shared between 2013 and 2015. The judge in the case suspended seven years of the sentence handed down to James Mills, 31.

Prior to the sentencing hearing Mills pled guilty to child molesting, a class A felony.

During the sentencing hearing deputy prosecutor Shane Tucker asserted Mills had an extensive criminal history, number of times the abuse occurred and the impact on the victim warranted a maximum sentence.

The Indiana State Police assisted with the investigation.
