Update: Hearing set for medic accused of child molestation

Gregory Scott Muller.

A preliminary hearing date of August 3 has been set for Gregory Scott Muller, who was arrested July 4 in Meridian on child molestation charges.

Muller, who resides in Meridian, is accused of molesting a 10-year old "family friend", who had been visiting from out of town over the Independence Day holiday.

Muller faces two felony charges of lewd and lascivious conduct with a minor child under 16 and one felony charge of child sexual abuse, according to the Ada County Prosecutor's office, and faces a maximum sentence of life in prison if convicted on the charges.

A full-time supervisor for Northwest Paramedics Associates (NPA) since October of last year, he works several shifts a month from the Mountain Home location as a medic. Muller has been placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of the case.

Muller has retained Boise attorney Dennis Charney to represent him on the charges and remains in custody at the Ada County Jail until the hearing date.
