(KNZA)--A Sabetha man already facing child sex charges in Brown County is now facing similar charges in Nemaha County.

According to a press release Thursday from Nemaha County Attorney Brad Lippert, 27-year-old Roy Tidwell III has been charged in Nemaha County District Court with aggravated indecent liberties with a child and sexual exploitation of a child.

Lippert says the complaint alleges that in 2017, Tidwell engaged in lewd fondling or touching of a child under 14 years of age, and also coerced the same child to engage in sexually explicit conduct with the intent to promote the performance.

If convicted, Lippert says Tidwell could be sentenced under Jessica’s Law for both offenses, which would result in a life sentence without the possibility of parole for 25 years.

The case was investigated by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, FBI, Nemaha County Sheriff’s Department, Wichita Police Department and Hiawatha Police Department.

Tidwell was charged last week in Brown County with rape, aggravated internet trading in child pornography and sexual exploitation of a child .

Brown County Atttorney Kevin Hill says the victim was three-years-old when the alleged crimes were committed in Hiawatha between July and December 2017.

A preliminary hearing in the case is set for May 16th.

Tidwell remains in the Brown County Jail, held on a $3 million bond.
