State Police help bring down alleged 80-year-old child molester The child molestation charges and police allegations against Billy Ray Brown are disturbing on any level. But his age has to be the most stunning part about this two-state bust on charges that he molested two young girls across two states over the past year. You see, Brown is 80 years old. But thanks to efforts by Pennsylvania State Police assisting officers in North Carolina, he is facing justice right now. According to the Winston-Salem Journal , local police said they first learned about the allegations against Brown from the Pennsylvania State Police on May 9. Brown had been accused of molesting two girls, ages 7 and 12, and that the alleged incidents occurred in Winston-Salem and New Oxford, Pa., the newspaper wrote. That information led to Brown's arrest in Winston-Salem on Wednesday. He is charged with one count of first-degree sex offense with a child and six counts of indecent liberties with a child, the Journal reported, citing arrest warrants.
