Father, Son Accused Of Sexually Assaulting Two Girls

A father and son in Huron are charged with sexually assaulting two young girls.

Following a two-month investigation, a grand jury indicted Fred Sylaart on two counts of sexual contact with a child.  His 18-year-old son, Jordan, faces two counts of first-degree rape.  Authorities say both men assaulted both of the victims.

Fred Sylaart worked as a county janitor.  Thursday night, the Beadle County Commission suspended him without pay.

KELOLAND's David Brown spent the day in Huron.  He'll take a closer look at the accusations and talk with State's Attorney Michael Moore on KELOLAND News at 6.
