WILBER, Neb. (AP) — A 27-year-old dance instructor has been accused of sexually assaulting two teenage girls in southeast Nebraska.

Vinson Jenkins was arrested last week and was charged Monday in Saline County Court with two counts of sexual assault of a child and one count of felony enticement by electronic communication device. Records say Jenkins remained in custody Tuesday. Online court records don’t list the name of an attorney who could speak on Jenkins’ behalf.

Authorities say one of the 14-year-olds said Jenkins sexually assaulted her April 25 in the basement of his Crete home. The other girl told a Crete officer that Jenkins repeatedly sexually assaulted her from August through December last year at the Dynamic Dance Company studio, which he and his wife co-own.
