Firefighter denies molestation charges

The firefighter brother of Anderson Mayor Kris Ockomon denied any wrongdoing after he was charged with six counts of child molestation, sexual misconduct and criminal deviate conduct. Martin Ockomon, 46, was arrested Tuesday and later posted bond. The allegations date back 21 years, and special prosecutor Tammy Napier of Hancock County alleges a possible cover-up by another brother, Roger Ockomon, a retired Anderson police officer. Martin Ockomon is accused of fondling and molesting at least three young female relatives on numerous occasions during the 1990s. His attorney denied the charges.
