Henderson County sheriff's deputies charged a 46-year-old local man with sexually assaulting a child after an investigation by the violent crimes unit.

Albaro Luna Zepeda of 118 Southern Drive faces two felony counts of First-Degree Sex Offense With a Child. The charges were brought after the victim met with investigators concerning inappropriate contact by Zepeda when she was under the age 13, the sheriff's office said in a news release. Zepeda was interviewed by investigators and is currently incarcerated in the Henderson County jail under a $150,000 secured bond and was scheduled for a first appearance in District Court today.
