A Piqua man accused of sexually assaulting a toddler last week is being held on a $1 million bond.
Jesse Hartman was arraigned Tuesday morning. There he pleaded not guilty and a judge set his bond at $500,000 for each of the two counts he’s facing, according to Miami County Municipal Court records.
Police received a 911 call around 12:40 a.m. Friday from a woman who said an unknown man was sexually assaulting her 3-year-old daughter in an upstairs bedroom.
In a 911 call obtained through a public records request, the woman said she went to check on her daughter because she was supposed to be asleep, but she could hear her bed moving.
“I don’t know how in the world he even got into my house,” the woman said.
She told dispatchers that she tried to chase the man down as he rode away on a bike.
An investigation led police to identify Hartman as a suspect. He was arrested roughly twelve hours after the sexual assault was reported.
