Two arrested on charges of child molestation

John Kenyon Batchelor, 19, was booked into the Washoe County Jail on Thursday on suspicion of 20 counts of sexual assault, 15 counts of lewdness with a minor and four counts of child neglect/endangerment. Bail was set at $285,000.

Detective Jim Stegmaier said Batchelor told police he was giving three young boys a "lesson" when he performed sexual acts with them.

Susan Marie Duncan, a former girlfriend, confessed to knowing Batchelor was molesting children and to participating in an act with a 10-year-old, Stegmaier said.

Duncan, 19, was arrested on lewdness and child endangerment charges.
