Charlestown man charged with sexual abuse
Timothy Heil, a small business owner, is accused of molesting a young child. A court document graphically outlines the alleged abuse.
Heil, 44, already a registered sex offender, is facing felony charges in Kentucky and Indiana. The most serious charges are alleged to have taken place in Charlestown. Police there charged him with molesting a child under 14, committing acts of vicarious sexual gratification, and voyeurism.
According to the Clark County Sheriff's department, Heil recently separated from his wife and failed to update the sex offender registry. Lieutenant Racheal Lee says that's common. “I believe its one of the reasons they would choose not to update their information. They don't want to be located,” she says. “They don't want to be publicly known to be an offender.”
The registry shows that Heil is still living in his Charlestown home with his wife and kids.
Heil was convicted in 2000 of molesting a young girl. According to court documents, Timothy Heil recently said, “A girl is in her sexual prime between the ages of 13 and 14 years old.” Police recovered miniature wireless recording equipment and a graphic book about juvenile sex from Heil's home.
Heil is currently lodged in the Jefferson County Jail in Louisville on charges of wanton endangerment and terroristic threatening after he allegedly tried to run his wife off the road in Louisville.
Because of the ongoing investigation Charlestown police could not comment on this case. They are expecting more evidence and perhaps more charges to come from the investigation.
