A Bullhead City man has been jailed after his stepdaughter reported alleged sexual abuse from more than a decade ago.
Michael Lee Lepker, 60, faces charges of sexual assault, molestation of a child and continuous molestation of a child.
The victim, now an adult, reported that Lepker molested her while they lived in Bullhead City, police spokeswoman Emily Fromelt said.
The abuse allegedly started when she was 11 and continued every other day until she was 15, according to Fromelt.

The victim reportedly told police that she recently was finally ready to talk about what had happened to her. There is no statute of limitations regarding sex crimes against child under the age of 15, according to Arizona state statutes.
Police detectives interviewed Lepker on Wednesday, after which he was arrested.
He was booked into the Mohave County Jail in Kingman.
Lepker was being held without bond and awaiting a May 13 appearance in Bullhead City Justice Court, county sheriff’s office spokeswoman Trish Carter said.
