A Cedar Creek man was arrested Monday on allegations he sexually assaulted a girl under the age of 10 at least three times in 2022 and 2023, court records show.

Kevin Lee Edge, 35, is charged with multiple counts including second-degree sexual offense and indecent liberties with a child, according to court records.

According to an arrest warrant, the child told investigators in March that she was sexually assaulted in a shed when she was 9; just before she turned 10 when they were riding ATVs in the woods; and a third time in a swimming pool. The record said the victim didn't know when the assault in the pool occurred, but the other assaults happened in the summer of 2022 and 2023.
