Lawrence man arrested on suspicion of aggravated indecent liberties with 13-year-old

Lawrence police arrested a 21-year-old Lawrence man Monday afternoon on suspicion of aggravated indecent liberties with a 13-year-old girl.

The Lawrence girl reported she was illegally touched by the suspect at a northwest Lawrence home on Saturday, a police spokeswoman said. The man and girl are known to each other, police said.

The suspect was arrested at the Lawrence Police Department Investigation and Training Center, 4820 Bob Billings Parkway. He’s being held in Douglas County Jail.

Police said a criminal report would be sent to the district attorney’s office for review on Wednesday. The office was closed Tuesday for Veterans Day.
