A Butler man is accused of sexually abusing an 8-year-old girl at a city home earlier this fall.

But the suspect, Donald R. Greaves, 57, denies the allegations that he inappropriately touched the child Sept. 30, authorities said.

Butler police on Monday obtained an arrest warrant for Greaves on felony counts of aggravated indecent assault and corruption of minors, and misdemeanor counts of indecent assault and child endangerment.

Investigators said the girl immediately reported the incident to a family member, who notified the Butler County Children & Youth Services agency the next day.

The accuser on Oct. 2 was taken to Children’s Hospital in Pittsburgh for an examination. She told a physician with the hospital’s Child Advocacy Center that Greaves had molested her, according to court documents.

Police on Oct. 16 began their investigation after the girl made separate disclosures to both her elementary school teacher and therapist.

A Butler County Alliance for Children staff member on Oct. 26 interviewed the child, who described the way Greaves touched her inappropriately, documents said.

The forensic interviewer asked her how she felt afterward. “It made me mad,” the girl replied, according to a police affidavit.

The child’s younger brother corroborated the account during an interview that same day. He said he saw Greaves touch his sister and heard her tell the defendant, “Stop touching my parts.”

Police later spoke to the girl’s therapist, who discussed the victim’s disclosure that the defendant “touches me and he is not supposed to,” the affidavit said.

During an Oct. 29 interview at the station, a police investigator pressed him but Greaves repeatedly denied touching the girl.

However, in a spontaneous admission, documents said, he acknowledged having been in past trouble for bad decisions.

“He stated that trouble just seems to find him,” the affidavit said.

Court records showed that Greaves;’ criminal history includes convictions for corruption of minors in 1997 and for furnishing alcohol to a minor in 1998, both in Mercer County.
