A Lincoln County man is accused of taking indecent liberties with a minor.
Barry George Fredell was arrested in relation to an incident that happened Feb. 19 and involved a 13-year-old girl, according to the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office.
A woman reported that her daughter was visiting a home in Maiden where Fredell was staying when the man committed an indecent act on the teen. The Sheriff’s Office did not elaborate on what that act was.
Warrants were served against Fredell on Friday. The 26-year-old was charged with indecent liberties, which is a felony, and two probation violations.
He remains in the Lincoln County Jail on a $55,000 secured bond.
Fredell has no prior convictions for sexual assault, but he was convicted of assault with a deadly weapon in July, according to the N.C. Department of Correction website.
