Former Indiana nurse, pastor charged with child molesting

DELAWARE COUNTY, Ind. (WXIN) -- A Yorktown man who previously worked as a pastor and school nurse is facing several charges for child molesting.

Court documents filed in the case show Brian Couch, 55, told police he needed to talk to them about “inappropriately touching” a juvenile over the course of several years.

The victim told authorities the escalating sexual abuse began at around age 6 and continued “almost daily.”

Authorities say the allegations don't involve contact with children during his professional roles. Couch faces 10 counts of child molesting and one count of sexual misconduct with a minor.

His wife, Londa Couch, was also arrested and faces charges of neglect of a dependent and failure to report. Court documents show she's accused of not reporting the abuse, which she apparently became aware of in November 2018. That is the same time the alleged abused ended.
