Arraignment set for Iowa City man charged with assaulting 14-year-old

An Iowa City man charged with sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl this month will appear for an arraignment at the Johnson County Courthouse at 2 p.m. July 1.

Chad Paul Anciaux, 23, of 58 Rita Lyn Court, was charged with third-degree sex abuse in the case.

According to police, Anciaux met the victim at Iowa City's Pedestrian Mall around 4:30 p.m. June 12. The victim says Anciaux gave her an unknown beverage and after she consumed the drink, she passed out. Police say when the victim regained consciousness, she was being sexually assaulted several blocks away from her previous location.

Anciaux told police the sex was consensual and he believed the girl was 15 years old.

He was in the Johnson County Jail Friday on a probation violation, with a $10,000 cash bond.
