Accused child molester faces 470 charges
A Butler man is accused of sexually assaulting a girl over a nearly four-year period beginning when she was 10 years old.
Garrett A. Luttrell, 34, was arraigned Tuesday on 470 criminal counts in the investigation.
Citing the seriousness of the charges, District Judge William Fullerton set bail at $100,000. Luttrell was placed in the Butler County Prison following arraignment.
The numerous suspected assaults occurred between June 2014 and April 2018 in Butler, according to court documents.
The girl detailed the alleged abuse to a forensic interview specialist with the Butler County Alliance for Children while police detectives watched from a different room.
She recounted that Luttrell warned her not tell anyone, saying he would go to jail and that “he would kill himself,” documents said.
Luttrell turned himself in to police on an arrest warrant they obtained Monday. Luttrell’s preliminary hearing is set for May 14.
