Family members said the girls went to visit McLean Tuesday. During the visit, they fell asleep. When they woke up, the girls discovered they were alone and locked in the house. Padlocks were placed on the doors and the windows were bolted shut, police said.

A family member heard the girls screaming from inside the home and called for help.

McLean was arrested a short time later.

  • Padlocks were placed on the doors and the windows were bolted shut, police said.

    "It scared the hell out of them," the victim's grandmother said. "She said every time he hugged them, he touched their rear end or slowly he started touching their breasts."

    Written statements from two girls indicated McLean gave the girls cigarettes, alcohol, candy, money and pills during previous visits.

    Investigators said McLean also allegedly showed the girls pornography and exposed himself to them.

    Detectives executed a search warrant and recovered a computer, handgun and numerous videotapes from the home.

    McLean is charged with four counts of lewd and lascivious molestation, two counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor and two counts of lewd and lascivious exhibition.

    Investigators are talking with other children in McLean's neighborhood to determine if there are other victims.
