BLOOMINGTON — A Bloomington couple is behind bars after police say they paid their babysitter with meth and heroin instead of cash and allegedly sexually assaulted her.
Police arrested 37-year-old Adrian Fish and 31-year-old Samantha Ottinger on charges of sexual misconduct with a minor, dealing in methamphetamine, and contributing to the delinquency of a minor under the age of 16.
Ottinger is also facing a charge of neglect of a dependent and Fish a charge of dealing in a narcotic drug.
Both will appear in Monroe Circuit Court 2 for an initial hearing today at 1 p.m.
According to court documents, the girl reported during a forensic interview that Fish and Ottinger frequently provided her with meth as payment to watch their children.
In July 2022, Fish gave the girl the drug before exposing himself and telling her that Ottinger fantasized about the three of them having sex. He then left the residence, leaving her with the young children.
That evening, the girl told investigators Fish provided her with heroin. Fish and Ottinger then moved her to a bed, where the girl said they gave her meth. While on the bed, the teen said Fish sexually assaulted her.
The children were removed from the home after authorities say the children tested positive for meth and fentanyl.
In September police interviewed Fish. He admitted to using meth with the girl at least once. He also said Ottinger told him about her fantasies about having sex with the girl but denied a sexual assault occurred.
