A plea hearing has been scheduled for a Solon man accused of sexually abusing two young girls.
On Friday Judge Andrew Chappell set a hearing date of September 3rd in the case of 50-year-old Robert Egesdal of Highway 1 Northeast.
According to the Johnson County Sheriff’s Office, Egesdal began a pattern of sexually assaulting a young girl at his residence starting in 2014 when she was 12. The alleged abuse continued through April of 2019.
The alleged victim told investigators that she resisted Egesdal’s advances on numerous occasions, but he persisted and forced himself on her multiple times.
The alleged assaults happened when Egesdal was watching the girl while her mother was at work.
A relative of Egesdal’s also told investigators that Egesdal inappropriately touched her at his residence on June 12th of 2019. The girl said she told him “no” multiple times, but he continued the abuse.
Egesdal is charged with five counts of 3rd Degree Sexual Abuse. If convicted on all counts, he faces a maximum of 50 years in prison.
