An Omaha man is facing two charges of sexual assault involving past incidents in Lincoln.

Lincoln police say 22-year-old Shad Jenkins has been arrested for 1st degree Sexual Assault of a Child, and 3rd degree Sexual Assault of a Child.

Officer Katie Flood tells 10/11 News that on February 27th, a 6-year-old boy was found acting out sexually with a 4-year-old child. Flood says when asked about the incident, the boy said he was taught the behavior by his uncle, Shad Jenkins.

Flood says Jenkins had sexual contact with the 6-year-old boy twice, in September of 2009 and in December of 2009.

Flood says it appears Jenkins was abused by his father, and the case indicates a continued cycle of abuse.
