Man Charged with Molesting Two Girls
 
A Morganton man was jailed Saturday after being charged with three counts of taking indecent liberties with a minor. The man, Pao Thao of Fisher Davis Trailer Park Lot #37, is accused of molesting two juvenile females.

A deputy was dispatched to Grace Hospital, where the two girls were being treated for the alleged sexual abuse. 
 
Thao, 33, is reportedly a family friend of the two girls, according to a news release. 
 
Investigators with Burke County Sheriff's Office and Morganton Department of Public Safety investigated the allegations, since the assaults reportedly occurred inside and outside the city limits of Morganton. 
 
Thao was jailed under a $100,000 bond and will have a first court appearance today. More charges are pending, according to investigators.
