Jose Cruz and Jose Barrios - Father/Son Child Molesters


A Dubois County father and son are accused of molesting two four-year-old girls, the Huntingburg Police Department said in a news release.

Jose Vladimir Cruz, 18, and Jose Abel Cruz Barrios, 39, are facing preliminary charges of child molesting and sexual battery.

According to a news release, the two men fondled a friend's twin 4-year-old daughters multiple times while living at the woman's Huntingburg home.

Huntingburg Police began investigating the case in June after receiving information from Dubois County Child Protective Services.

Jose Vladimir Cruz was arrested this week after an interview with police and charges were later added for his father, who was already lodged in the Dubois County Security Center on unrelated charges, police said.

Jose Vladimir Cruz is also facing a preliminary charge of possession of false government identification. Police say they found an identification card from Texas with his face but a different name and date of birth.
