BOZEMAN — Glenn B. Belnap of Belgrade is facing felony sexual assault charges involving a minor under the age of 16.
Belnap, 33 years old, was seen in Gallatin County Justice Court on Wednesday. Judge Bryan Adams set Belnap’s bond at $5,000 and ordered him to wear a GPS monitor at all times.
According to charging documents, the Gallatin County Sheriff’s Office received a report from the Montana Department of Public Health & Human Services regarding a student at a Gallatin County school.
Detectives began the investigation after learning that several teachers expressed concern for the student, and several concerning reports of the child’s well-being, and a school therapist’s belief that the child was being exposed to “unreasonable physical or psychological harm.”
Due to the child disclosing to three people that Belnap allegedly touched the child’s private area, recent sexualized behavior, and recent incontinence, Belnap was arrested.
Belnap was ordered not to come in contact with anyone under the age of 18.
He also cannot be within 500 feet of the victim anywhere, and he cannot be in his home if anyone under the age of 18 is inside the same home.
Belnap’s next court appearance is set for December 6.
