Resident charged with indecent liberties
Douglas County prosecutors filed two charges of aggravated indecent liberties with a child against a 41-year-old Lawrence man on Tuesday.
Lawrence police said the man was arrested after two incidents on Saturday involving a 7-year-old girl.
Police spokeswoman Kim Murphree said the girl’s mother reported her daughter was inappropriately touched twice by the suspect, who is known to them.
The crimes allegedly occurred at a home in Eudora and a home in southwest Lawrence, Murphree said.
A $150,000 bond was set for the suspect during a first appearance Tuesday. The suspect is scheduled to return to court at 2 p.m. Thursday.
It is Journal-World policy not to name suspects in sex crimes, unless there is a conviction.
