ROANE COUNTY TEEN JAILED FOR SEXUALLY MOLESTING GIRLS ON CHURCH BUS

A Rockwood teenager who allegedly fondled two girls while they were on a church bus remained in the Roane County Jail Wednesday on charges of child rape and two counts of aggravated sexual battery.

Larry Lynn Allison, 18, was arrested March 24 in connection with the incidents, which a warrant states occurred on March 16 inside a Mount Pisgah Church bus that was returning home.

Allison was allegedly sitting between the two victims and molested a 10-year-old girl, authorities said. He also fondled a 9-year-old girl and forced her to fondle him, according to an arrest warrant filed by a Rockwood detective.

Bond in the charges totals $90,000, and a June 6 appearance in Roane County General Sessions Court is scheduled.

If he is released on bond, Allison is to wear a monitoring device, have no contact with either victim and be under pretrial release supervision.  (KnoxNews)
