Man gets probation for attack on 8-year-old

-

A Newton County man was sentenced by Lake Superior Court Judge Diane Ross Boswell to two years on probation for battery.

Anthony W. Noel, 20, of Brook admitted he grabbed an 8-year-old girl, causing her pain and bodily injury, on May 15 at a residence in the 100 block of West Monitor Street in Crown Point.

Charges of child molesting and criminal confinemen­t, both punishable by two to eight years, were dismissed under terms of the plea agreement, which outlined Noel’s sentence. Boswell also told him he must remain in treatment, stay on his medication and work toward finding a group home.
