Beatrice man accused of sexually assaulting two children

A Beatrice man has been arrested for two count of first-degree sexual assault of a child, which prosecutors allege happened over a 14-year span in Lincoln.

Scott Buck Sr., 51, was booked in Lancaster County Jail on Monday. 

In an affidavit for his arrest, an investigator says a warrant was served as part of a child porn investigation at Buck’s home in Beatrice in May of 2018.

Buck is currently awaiting sentencing after he was later found guilty of possession of child pornography, according to the affidavit. 

Following the search, investigators say Buck admitted to sexual contact with the children, allegedly assaulting them on multiple occasion between 1990 and 2004. 

The abuse took place at various location in the city, according to interviews of the victims detailed in the document. 

A judge set Buck’s bond at $750,000. 

He faces up to 100 years in jail, if convicted on both counts.
