CEDAR RAPIDS - Police arrested a Cedar Rapids man Monday after a young girl reported he had sexually abused her multiple times over the past four years.

The arrest comes after a girl younger than 12 told police Meineke had subjected her to a number of sex acts at a residence in Cedar Rapids between October 2016 and April.
Police said Meineke denied the girl's claims but also corroborated some of her account.
A warrant was issued for Meineke's arrest June 17, and he was taken into custody Monday. He since has been released on a $50,000 bond.
