From Flagstaff, Arizona, a 51-year-old unnamed adoptive father “has been arrested for allegedly molesting two adopted daughters.

The Coconino County Sheriff’s Office says the man, who lives in a subdivision  east of Flagstaff, has been charged with multiple felonies stemming from alleged  sexual contact he had with two of his underage adopted daughters.

A family friend first reported the alleged abuse after one of the girls said  her adopted father had been molesting her.

A deputy and detective interviewed the girl who said a second adopted  daughter was also a victim of the alleged molestation.

After an initial investigation, deputies arrested the suspect for two counts  of child molestation.

A subsequent investigation included physical examinations and Safe Child  Interviews with both victims.

After a review by the Coconino County Attorney’s Office, a complaint was  issued charging the suspect with two counts of child molestation, four counts of  sexual conduct with a minor, one count of sexual abuse and two counts of sexual  abuse of a minor.

The name of the suspect was not released by authorities to protect the  identities of the victims.

The investigation is ongoing.”
