A 67-year-old North Platte man is facing charges after he allegedly sexually assaulted a 12-year-old girl.

On March 21, North Platte Police launched an investigation after the girl reported that she had been at the apartment of David Deluncantonio, 1200 South Oak Street, when he allegedly grabbed her buttocks.

Additionally, after the touching incident, Deluncantonio allegedly went to the victim’s house and showed her a document on a computer requesting that the two have a sexual relationship.  It was also alleged that Deluncantonio gave the girl a camera and wanted her to take nude pictures of herself.  Police say the girl did not comply.

Through their investigation, police learned that the girl and Deluncantonio are not related, but are familiar with each other through family members.

On April 1, officers made contact with Deluncantonio and placed him under arrest.

He was transported to the Lincoln County Detention Center and jailed on charges of 3rd degree sexual assault of a child (no penetration) and felony child abuse.

Jail records did not list a bond amount for Deluncantonio.
