LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A Lincoln man has been accused of photographing his sexual assault on an unconscious 9-year-old girl.

Online court records say 55-year-old Alan Kosmicki is charged with sexual assault of a child and generating child pornography.

Online court records don’t list the name of an attorney who could be contacted to comment on Kosmicki’s behalf.
