RIVERSIDE, Ohio -- A man recently indicted on sex charges involving a relative's children was barred from Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in 1995 for a sexual offense there with a minor, according to police reports.

In May, police received a complaint on Andrew J. Huff, 63, Vagabond Lane, Riverside, that he had allegedly fondled the children, according to a Riverside police report. Huff was indicted by a grand jury on three counts of gross sexual imposition involving children under 13, a third-degree felony, and arrested Aug. 21. He is currently free on $100,000 bond.

But Riverside police investigators found that Huff, who had retired from the U.S. Air Force, also had been accused in 1995 of making suggestive remarks and sexually touching a minor male in a gym shower at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, based on military police reports.

In a written statement for base police, Huff said he had "a compulsion" and would start getting therapy. Huff was banned from the base in 1995, and allowed to return only for medical care.

Base spokesman Derek Kauffman could not say Thursday, Sept. 4, what Huff's status was at the base before or after the 1995 incident, or how the case was handled.

Huff, who denies the current allegations, told Riverside police during their investigation in May that he is HIV-positive and had slept with minor boys in Kentucky, according to Riverside police reports. A few days later, he denied that, saying the young men were 18 and it was only oral sex, according to the police reports.

Huff's next court date, according to Montgomery County Jail records, is Sept. 11.
