Over 100 years handed down in Shelby Circuit Court child molest case

A Bartholomew County man was sentenced to over 100 years in Shelby Circuit Court.

 

Corey Allen Greenlee, 41, of Columbus, was sentenced in Shelby Circuit Court to 101 years in prison for various counts of child molesting and child solicitation.

 

The Shelby County Prosecutor says evidence showed that Greenlee molested the victim in various ways on a regular basis for over 10 years, starting at 7 years of age.

 

After a two-day jury trial, Greenlee was convicted on November 13, 2019, of Class C Felony Child Molesting,  two counts of Class A Felony Child Molesting,  two counts of Class D Felony Child Solicitation and one Level 5 Felony count of Child Solicitation.

 

At his sentencing hearing on January 21, Judge Meltzer ordered all sentences to run consecutive to one-another for a total sentence of 101 years. Greenlee is a credit-restricted felon, meaning that he must actually serve at least 70.5 years in prison before he will be eligible for parole.

 

Prosecutor Brad Landwerlen said in a press release that Greenlee will never be able to hurt another child unless he lives to 111 years of age. Major kudos go out to Shelby County Sheriff's Detective Dan Crafton, who investigated the case, and to Chief Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Scott Spears, who prosecuted the case.
