According to the affidavit of probable cause, on June 10 Foreman invited the minor to go bowling. The female did not return home that night or the next day. The mother contacted Foreman the next evening on June 11, telling him to bring the girl home immediately. When Foreman heard from a third party that the woman had called the police, he dropped the girl off a few houses from her home and didn’t talk to the woman.The woman told the officer when the girl came home she had “hickies” on her neck.

An officer took the girl to the St. Joseph Sexual Assault Center in Fort Wayne for the collection of evidence and a forensic interview. During the interview the girl described the sexual encounter in detail and reported Foreman was the one who gave her the “hickies.”

During the sentencing, deputy prosecutor Katy Hampton recommended the maximum sentence for Foreman given the matter of the crime and the impact it had on the child. Foreman had no comment for the court when Judge David Cates addressed him.

Foreman was given a sentence of six years to be served at the Indiana Department of Corrections. Foreman will receive 155 days jail time credit for time served. A no contact order was placed between him and the minor.
