Fall River teacher accused of child molestation

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) -- The brother of a Warren man facing child molestation charges has himself been arrested and charged with child molestation.

Attorney Paul DiMaio said Jesse Perry of Fall River, Mass., was arrested Friday and arraigned Monday in District Court in Providence on felony child molestation charges. He's being held at the Adult Correctional Institutions.

Richard Perry, his brother, is also being held there. State police arrested him last month after a six-month joint investigation with Bristol Police and a grand jury indictment. He faces four counts of child molestation. He has pleaded not guilty.

Richard Perry is a former youth football coach and Kickemuit Middle School discipline officer and custodian.

DiMaio said the cases involve different alleged victims.

Messages were left for state police and Bristol police.
