We discuss the phenomenology of doubly and singly charged Higgs bosons [of SU(2){sub L}-triplet fields] in the simplest A{sub 4}-symmetric version of the Higgs triplet model. Mass eigenstates of these Higgs bosons are obtained explicitly from the Higgs potential. It is shown that their decays into a pair of leptons have unique flavor structures which can be tested at the LHC if some of their masses are below the TeV scale. Sizable decay rates for {tau}{yields}{mu}ee and {tau}{yields}e{mu}{mu} can be obtained naturally, while other {tau}{yields}ll{sup '}l{sup ''}, {mu}{yields}eee, and l{yields}l{sup '{gamma}}, are almost forbidden in this model. Contributions of these Higgs bosons to the nonstandard interactions of neutrinos are also considered.
