FILLMORE -- Indiana State Police Detectives from the Criminal Investigation Division at the Putnamville Post have made additional arrests in the child molestation case involving Brian J. Beaty, 47, of Fillmore.

Genny L. Beaty, 36, wife of Brian Beaty, was arrested at 11:30 a.m. on Tuesday for her involvement in the alleged molestation of two teenage female relatives.

Genny Beaty has been charged in Putnam Circuit Court with two counts of neglect of a dependent, both Class D Felonies and one count of false informing, a Class B misdemeanor. She was incarcerated in the Putnam County Jail.

State police detectives from the Putnamville Post served a Putnam County Circuit Court search warrant at the Beaty home Tuesday morning. Detectives recovered several items of evidence they believe is part of the molestation investigation. Those items were seized and submitted into the evidence system of the Indiana State Police.

Genny Beaty was arrested on warrant from Putnam Circuit Court during the execution of the search warrant.

Additional charges have been filed against Brian Beaty. He is now charged with 11 felony counts. Those are two counts of child molesting, Class A felony; five counts of sexual misconduct with a minor, Class B felony; two counts of child molesting, Class C felony; and two counts of sexual misconduct with a minor, Class C felony.

Brian Beaty was originally arrested on Feb. 18 for the alleged molestation of two teenage female relatives during the last three years at his home. During that time, he was alleged to have performed various sexual acts on the teenagers as well as having them perform various sexual acts on him.

Indiana State Police Detectives Sergeant Troy Stanton, Detective Sam Stearley and Detective Chris Carter investigated the case. The Putnam County Prosecutor's Office and the Putnam County Department of Child Services assisted them.

  • They had to have some reason to arrest her,now it is up to the courts to decide. My heart goes out to the young girl's involved.

  • Just because she is not in jail does not mean that she is not guilty,she could have posted bail. Why then hasn't the Banner updated this story, that would be horrible to be falsely accused of such a crime if again they didn't have the evidence to arrest her.

  • Marskye95, I bet you wouldn't be defending her so much if it was one of your teenage daughters that were involved in this case!!!

  • Not sure of the relationship of the man and woman accused of these crimes but where in the hell are the parents of these two children?

  • Some commenters might be more involved than you think. Please resist passing judgment on persons you do not know. My thoughts and prayers go out to these children and their family.

  • I'm with Clovertucky. How could you not know this is happening in your own home? She was arrested for neglect of children that were in her care. She didn't stop it, she should be punished for that. I don't care what people say....it happened for over 3 years and she didn't know anything? PLEASE!

  • She may have been threatened with her life or the lives of the girls involved. Mental, emotional, and physical abuse are often involved in these cases.

  • Like xfanficx said, some commenters may be more involved than you think. Or here we go, probaly know a heck of a lot more than you do. I feel compelled to let the girls and the family know that our thoughts and prayers go out to you. May you have great success with administering justice to those that should be given it, and to those who don't, may they not be given the book. GOD is the ultimate judge and juror.

  • Don't know her! Don't want to know her. If she knew what was going on then she should get the same punishment as him. Firing squad or hanging!!

    If she didn't know then let her be!

    Crimes against children should have the most severe punishment out of any and all crimes!

    God got brought up in earlier comments. I'm not going to go all holy roller here but I am going to say this. If this man did what they say he did to children then God shouldn't wait around. He should judge him NOW!!

  • Look at her picture. Does she really look like she knows whats going on? Really. I know that look on anyones face. That is the look of confusion, mixed with sadness. Not the I knew everything look. Thanks JrsWife. At least theres someone with a little bit of common sense.

  • I am with Clovertucky-I have always known what goes on in my own home. So what if she was threatened by him-if she knew she had responsibility to report it. I know exactly what goes on in my home at all time. Please!
