A Scio man was arrested Monday, June 23, after an investigation into multiple sex offenses, Linn County Sheriff Michelle Duncan reported.
Justin Tyler Lima, 36, of Scio, was arrested after a warrant for his arrest was issued stemming from an investigation that began after an adult female known to Lima reported last October that she had been sexually abused by Lima from the ages of 11 to 17 years of age. The abuse allegedly occurred at multiple locations in both Linn and Marion counties, Duncan said.
The Linn County District Attorney’s Office and the Marion County District Attorney’s Office worked cooperatively in the charges for Lima. The investigation was presented to a grand jury, which returned an indictment for Sex Abuse I, Unlawful Sexual Penetration I, Unlawful Sexual Penetration II, two counts of Sodomy II, two counts of Sodomy III, Rape II and two counts of Rape III.
Lima was arrested at his residence without incident and lodged in the Marion County Jail.
