A Lancaster County jury has found a Lincoln man guilty of sexually assaulting a 15-year-old girl.
David J. Kuhfahl III, 38, will face 15 years to life in prison when he's sentenced next month on a charge of first-degree sexual assault of a child.
Lincoln police arrested him last October after the girl's mother reported he had digitally penetrated her at a northwest Lincoln home on March 16, 2017.
The girl told her mom a few days after it happened, but police weren't notified until May.
In a police interview, Kuhfahl denied having sexual contact with the girl.
In closing arguments Thursday, Deputy Lancaster County Attorney Charles Byrd said, in texts to a friend, Kuhfahl originally said the girl was making it up. But, when the man said he'd seen it happen, Kuhfahl said he had memory loss and an evil, alternate personalty.

Kuhfahl's attorney, Peter Blakeslee, argued there was reasonable doubt there was penetration.
After deliberating for about five hours, the jury returned with a guilty verdict.
Kuhfahl previously was convicted of third-degree sexual assault of a minor in Lancaster County in 2009, according to the Nebraska Sex Offender Registry.
