An Iowa City man faces charges that he sexually abused a child under the age of 12 dozens of times.
21-year-old Trey Beard of South Gilbert Street was booked into the Johnson County Jail just before 4:15 Wednesday afternoon. Iowa City Police allege Beard had sexual contact with the child “20-30 times” since March. That estimate reportedly came from Beard himself, who allegedly admitted to police that he had sexual contact with the child.
Police also allege that Beard threatened to hurt the child if they told anyone about the abuse.
Beard is charged with 2nd Degree Sexual Abuse. If convicted, he faces a maximum of 25 years in prison.
