A Chattanooga man was arrested Tuesday following allegations he attempted to grope a 10-year-old child while working at a trampoline park.
Claude Finch, 25, faces charges of aggravated sexual battery and solicitation of a minor, court records show.
Finch was indicted by a grand jury last year on charges of sexual battery, evading arrest and reckless endangerment related to reported stalking and sexual assault incidents on the Southern Adventist University campus in Collegedale in 2021. He is still awaiting trial on those charges, according to court dockets.
These latest charges come after a mother reported her 10-year-old child said Finch asked to grope the child’s bottom in exchange for arcade credits totaling $60, an affidavit in the case states.
