GATESVILLE (July 28, 2008)—James Pat Wheat, 60, of Gatesville, is charged with aggravated sexual assault of a child in connection with an incident involving a 4-year-old girl whom his wife was babysitting.

Gatesville police arrested Wheat on Monday.

He was later released after posting $35,000 bond.

According to the affidavit submitted for the arrest warrant, the girl told her mother that she had been kissed and fondled and then told not to tell anyone what had happened.

The results of a medical examination were consistent with what the girl told her mother, the affidavit said.

The affidavit said the sexual assault happened either last Wednesday or Thursday at Wheat’s residence in Gatesville.
