Police arrested a Burlington man Saturday morning for allegedly sexually assaulting a child during a three-year period.

Jacob Lee Brosman, 29, has been charged with second-degree sexual abuse and faces up to 25 years in prison. He turned himself into Burlington police Saturday.

The arrest stems from a report issued by the Department of Human Services on Nov. 19, 2019. The agency received a complaint that Brosman sexually assaulted a child, according to an arrest affidavit. Brosman has denied the allegation.

According to Lt. Wayne Thomson of the Burlington Police Department, Brosman is being held at the Des Moines County Correctional Center in Burlington pending a court appearance.
