(KLZA)-- A Humboldt, Nebraska man has been arrested on charges of first-degree sexual assault of a child and intentional child abuse.
37-year-old Matthew Nix also is accused of violating the Sex Offender Registration Act.
He was arrested last week following an investigation by the Richardson County Sheriff's Department. That came after a woman reported her 12-year-old daughter had been sexually assaulted by Nix.
Deputies with the Sheriff's Department discovered during their investigation that Nix was no longer employed and had not updated with the sex offender registry.
The alleged victim was interviewed by the BraveBe Child Advocacy Center in Lincoln.
Nix is a registered sex offender. In 2011, he was convicted of first-degree sexual assault of a child and possession of child pornography. In 2024, he was convicted of violating the registry.
Bond was set at $10,000.
