Forty-one-year-old Michael John Welling has been charged with three counts of first-degree child molestation, first-degree statutory rape—sexual intercourse with a person less than 14 years old, two counts of first-degree statutory sodomy—deviate sexual intercourse with a person less than 14-years-old and incest.
A $15,000 cash only bond was revoked, and he is scheduled for Division One of Grundy County Circuit Court Thursday.
Welling was granted a change of venue from Harrison County last October.
