HAZELTON, N.D. (AP) A warrant has been issued for a 29-year-old North Dakota man accused of sexually assaulting an 8-year-old child.
The child's mother reported the alleged abuse to the Emmons County Sheriff's Office on Wednesday. The woman told authorities that the man fondled the child while the child was at the man's Hazelton home.
Emmons County Sheriff's Deputy Myron Rankins in an affidavit reported that the child was taken to a hospital where the results of an examination were consistent with the alleged abuse that was recounted to authorities.
Records show that the child's account during an interview also supported the nurse's findings.
The man hasn't been formally charged. A judge has issued an order forcing the man to provide a buccal swab for DNA testing purposes.
