A severe thunderstorm watch is in effect until midnight for much of eastern Nebraska, including Omaha. A tornado watch has been issued for Cass, Gage, Jefferson, Johnson, Lancaster, Nemaha, Otoe, Pawnee, Richardson, Saline and Seward counties until 10 p.m. Sunday.
A 26-year-old man has been charged with sexually assaulting a child starting in 2007 in eastern Nebraska's Saunders County.
A news release from the office of County Attorney Scott Tingelhoff says Matthew LeCrone, of Papillion, was charged with a felony count of sexually assaulting a child. The girl's age was not released.
LeCrone was convicted in Dodge County and sentenced on Nov. 8 to a year in jail for misdemeanor sexual assault. LeCrone had pleaded no contest after several other charges were dropped.
LeCrone's attorney in the Dodge County case said he knew nothing about the Saunders County allegations.
