A 51-year-old Nebraska City man faces four counts of first-degree child sexual assault after two girls alleged he abused them several times since 2008, according to court documents.
Troy L. Rakes remained in Otoe County jail Tuesday on $500,000 bond following his arrest in a case that began last month.
Otoe County Attorney David Partsch said two girls who know Rakes told forensic interviewers at the Child Advocacy Center office in Auburn that Rakes sexually abused them.

The girls, who were 4 and 6 when the alleged abuse began, first reported it to family members, Partsch said.
Rakes appeared in Otoe County Court on Monday and a judge set his bond and appointed the public defender's office there to represent him.
The judge also ordered Rakes not to contact anyone younger than 18.
