We have learned via the Ogle Mole Network that KOCO Channel 5 storm chaser Lawrence McEwen (pictured above) has been charged with four counts of lewd molestation / indecent proposal to a child. Each count can carry a prison sentence of 3 - 20 years.

According to a probable cause affidavit filed in Cleveland County, McEwen allegedly molested a 15-year-old boy while claiming to inspect the victim for a hernia. He also forced the same boy to use a sex toy on himself for "research" purposes.
