Police arrested a 48-year-old Grantsville man Friday after three children in his neighborhood came forward with allegations he had sexually abused them.

Detective Cody Painter said more potential victims had come forward since the allegations were first reported.

A parent of the children contacted Grantsville police about the allegations on Thursday. During interviews with police, the children — who range in age from 7 to 13 years old — described varying types of abuse, from the man exposing himself to them to rape, according to a probable cause statement. The eldest child told police the man had been abusing him for four years.
