GRAND ISLAND — A Grand Island man has been arrested for the alleged sexual assault of a 15-year-old and 18-year-old.
A 39-year-old man has been charged with sexual assault of a child, a Class 1B felony.
He was arraigned on the charges in Hall County Court on Monday, July 29. His bail was set at 10 percent of $200,000.
A preliminary hearing has been set for Aug. 19 at 10:30 a.m.
According to the probable cause statement, allegations of sexual assault against children came into a hotline and named the father of four children, three of which are girls, as responsible.
The man’s girlfriend also has a daughter that lives with the family.
The allegation was that the father was touching the 15-year-old and 18-year-old, and he does this while intoxicated. There was a similar report to the Department of Health and Human Services from August 2021 that was deemed unfounded at the time.
Officers and a DHHS worker interviewed the four girls and allegations of sexual penetration that took place from early 2021 to December 2023.
