WEST TERRE HAUTE -- A West Terre Haute man is behind bars after allegedly propositioning his girlfriend’s daughter for sexual favors.

Gary E. Reed, 43, was arrested on a warrant Saturday and booked into the Vigo County Jail around 3 p.m. He is charged with child solicitation and inappropriate communication with a child under age 14.

According to the probable cause affidavit filed by Sgt. Ian Redman, of the West Terre Haute Police Department, investigation revealed that Reed had asked her to try on underwear in his presence on two separate occasions.

” Reed propositioned [the victim] if he could pay her $30 to kiss her and to touch her breasts,” in the kitchen of their residence, according to the documents.

The man had allegedly purchased panties for the girl to try on, while his girlfriend later assumed they were for her, not her daughter. The girl's mother did say she thought Reed was spending too much time with her daughter, but denied further suspicions. The girl's mother also reportedly noted that she and Reed had an unfulfilling sex life together and stated that he would have seizures after sex.

Meanwhile, investigators found evidence on the suspect’s phone hinting at a possible fetish for adolescents wearing only underwear.

Reed denies the allegations and consented to a search of his cell phone, according to the documents.  In his Google search history were searches for the following:
​

• How to clean all information off of your phone
• Lady gorgeous lace panties
• Chubby teenage girls thongs pics (same search was repeated multiple times and almost daily)
• Old vs young pics
• Young girls naked pics
• Old man vs young girls pics sex (same search was repeated multiple times
• Growth spurt girls
• Pregnant teenagers pics naked (multiple searches)
• Teeny teen pom, pussies, naked teeny chubby asses
• Hot teen pussy, tight teen pussy, teen pussy pics
• Teen girls pussy pics

Reed remains held in the jail on $35,000 bond, no 10 percent allowed. He is scheduled to appear in court July 25 at 9 a.m.
