Kyle Adam Pound, 22, was charged June 6 with lewd molestation, domestic abuse assault and battery, and public intoxication.
Sequoyah County Sheriff's Deputy Greg Cox reported receiving a call at about 2 a.m. May 27 from a Sequoyah County home in reference to a drunk person in the homeowner's yard, according to court records.
The 13-year-old later told police that the incident started because of her. When asked why she thought it was her fault, the girl told Cox that she was asleep when Pound started to feel her chest and began kissing her. When she told him no, Pound allegedly started hitting her.
When Cox arrived at the scene, he spoke to a woman at the home who said that her boyfriend, Pound, had just left the home on foot. He was discovered by sheriff's deputies walking down the road and was arrested for public intoxication and taken to the Sequoyah County Jail in Sallisaw.
During Cox's investigation, the woman told Cox that she, her boyfriend and her daughter were staying the night at another couple's home. She said that she was asleep on the couch, with Pound on the floor next to her and her daughter on the floor nearby. The woman reported that she awoke to the sound of Pound hitting her daughter.
