Jailed on drug charges

BOARDMAN

A township man indicted in August on sexual-molestation charges involving a young child is back in the Mahoning County jail on cocaine-possession charges.

Thomas F. Reto, 60, of Marinthana Avenue, was indicted last week on the felony drug charge. He also faces four felony counts of gross sexual imposition filed in August, according to court records.

Reto is accused of forcing the child into sexual contact between 2006, when the child was 6 years old, and 2011, according to the indictment.

Reto posted a $50,000 bond after his August appearance and was released on the condition he have no contact with the accuser or be within 1,000 feet of them or their family.

Prosecutors motioned to revoke Reto’s bond last week, and a judge issued a bench warrant for his arrest, according to court records. He’s due back in court on the sex charges March 7.
