SALINA — A 72-year-old Salina man was arrested Tuesday on suspicion of aggravated indecent liberties with a child and aggravated criminal sodomy.
Gerald Jones is alleged to have sexually molested a preschool-age girl around Sept. 1 at a home in central Salina.
Salina Police Capt. Mike Sweeney said officers were sent to Salina Regional Health Center on Sept. 6 on a report of a sexual abuse case. Sweeney said the young girl was being checked for possible sexual abuse.
During the investigation, officers learned that Jones is alleged to have sexually molested a grade-school boy around Aug. 1.
Jones, who police said is acquainted with the victims, was booked into the Saline County jail early Tuesday afternoon.
