LAKE HAVASU CITY, Ariz. - Officials with the Mohave County Sheriff's Office say they have arrested a 63-year-old man for allegedly getting a 14-year-old pregnant.
According to a statement released on June 23, Terry Lee Fichtelman of Lake Havasu City was arrested on June 22, after an ongoing child molestation investigation.
Officials say results of a paternity test show Fichtelman is the father of a three-year-old child who was conceived when the mother was about 14 years old.

Officials say Fichtelman is a registered sex offender, and he has been booed into the Mohave County Detention Facility. He is accused of Sexual Conduct with a Minor, which is a felony.
