Child Molester Sentenced

TERRE HAUTE, Ind – A Terre Haute man was sentenced in Vigo County Court after pleading guilty to felony child molestation.

25 year old Jimmy L. Baker Jr., was sentenced to 14 years as part of a plea agreement.

Earlier this year an 11-year-old girl said Baker touched the child in a sexual manner.

The incidents happened while he was living with the child’s family in 2015 and 2016.

She said fear prevented her from reporting the incident earlier.
