A Vinton man was arrested Tuesday in Linn County on charges that he sexually abused a 5-year-old girl.
Garrett Wayne Spence, 32, is charged with second-degree sexual abuse. He is being held in the Linn County Jail on a $25,000 cash-only bond.
On May 2, the girl told her school counselor and principal about the abuse, which happened at a residence in Marion, according to a criminal complaint.
A warrant was issued for Spence’s arrest on May 22, and he was arrested May 28. He made his initial appearance in court Tuesday, and a no-contact order was filed on behalf of the child.
