Jurors on Thursday began deliberating the case of a Eudora man accused of sexually abusing a young girl over the course of several years.

The man, 40, faces four felony charges of aggravated indecent liberties with a child, according to a criminal complaint filed in Douglas County District Court.

The girl, now 15 years old, was allegedly abused between the ages of 7 and 10 in both Lawrence and Eudora, according to court documents.

The man was arrested on Jan. 9, 2015, and released later that day after posting a $25,000 bond. His trial began Monday.

After both defense and prosecuting attorneys finished their closing statements the jurors began deliberating around 11:30 a.m. Thursday.

At 5:30 p.m. the jury had not yet reached a verdict and decided to recess for the evening.

Deliberations are scheduled to recommence at 9 a.m. Friday.
