LINCOLN — An Ord man is facing a charge of first-degree sexual assault of a child.
Fernando Rodriguez, 74, was transferred from Valley County to Lancaster County over the weekend.
Media reports say he raped a 12-year-old girl in Lincoln in 2007. The alleged victim, who is now 21, told police Rodriguez began assaulting her when she was between three-and-five-years-old.
In an affidavit, an investigator listed four other girls who also say they were sexually assaulted, but charges have only been filed in the Lincoln case.
If convicted, Rodriguez could spend the rest of his life in prison. He’s scheduled to appear in court on June 2nd.
