A Chesterfield man was arrested Monday after being charged Thursday with six counts of child molestation.
Thomas Marvin Hill, 56, of Country Ridge Drive, was charged with sexually touching two young people on multiple occasions from June 5, 2006 through Nov. 19, 2010, according to a report from Chesterfield Police.
He was arrested Monday, April 16, police said.
UPDATE: Hill no longer lives in Chesterfield, an ex-wife said.
The report states the vicims told police about the incidents. There is a Jan. 5 order of protection for a minor child against Thomas M. Hill that runs for a year, until 2013, St. Louis County Court records show.
Court records showed a $20,000 cash-only bond was imposed.
St. Louis County Court records show his wife filed for divorce from Hill on Jan. 4.
Hill was convicted Jan. 24, 2003 of committing first-degree statutory sodomy with a 10-year-old girl, and is subject to lifetime supervision, the police report states. Prosecutors said they asked for prison time but that a judge decided otherwise.
Missouri State Highway Patrol's Missouri Sex Offender Registry shows Hill living in the 1000 block Kuhs Street in Richmond Heights, near the intersection of Clayton Road and South Skinker Boulevard.
This information is all public record.
Editor's note: This article originally incorrectly stated when Hill was arrested and released on bond. He was arrested Monday, April 16.

How did he get out of jail? So why did he not get arrested for not registering when he moved to Chesterfield? Who is responsible for making him register this is a block from my house. He purchased this house in 2003

Do we know he wasn't registered at the Chesterfield address, byron?

He was registered in Chesterfield. Residence right down the street from me. I hope to never have to worry about him again. May he never get out of prison. Repeat offender should never get another chance. And get the heck out of my neighborhood.

Thanks to this article, it has now hit the major news. He is in the hands of the legal system. The victims and family have taken the right steps, and deserve compassion and respect of privacy. This type of reporting often keeps victims from coming forward and does society a disservice.

"Yes he did something he regrets back in 2003." John, a conviction for sodomy of a 10yo girl is not a simple 'regret.' It is a heinous crime and people's suspicion and outrage is totally understandable. I truly do hope this and other articles about these criminal acts do not deter victims from coming forward. Another way to look at it is that it gives people some hope that justice might truly be served. Praying for all involved, especially the victim and this man's family.

Who cares that he doesn't have a job to pay the bail, he Should be in there anyway! John, I'm sorry but trying to stick up for your friend who is a child molester by acting like these acts are no big deal is disgusting. This man was a principal at the school I attended so the fact that all of this information is coming out is completely disturbing. Sexual abuse to a child or anyone for that matter is wrong and those who do it should pay the price so they can't do it again. Considering he did this years ago and wasn't sentenced to jail time and now he's molested more children, I'd say he should rot in jail. Prayers to his poor family...

Right on, Julia. He should stay right where he is. Enough damage has been done. Why oh why did the Judge did not give him any jail time knowing he was/IS a child molestor, from back in '03? Now, more victims.

He was not a principal. He was a Dean of some sort at Gateway. He resigned when his 2003 problem came to light.

Has there been any resolution in this case?

I'm checking. An ex-wife of his let Chesterfield Patch know that the defendant no longer lives in Chesterfield at all.
