YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA) - A Yuma man is behind bars after being accused of sexually abusing two children.

The Yuma Police Department says 26-year-old Jaudiel Perez was indicted on several felony counts, including sexual conduct with a minor.

This after YPD received a delayed report at the beginning of the year, referencing sexual offenses with two children who were three and seven years old at the time of the alleged abuse.

Police say it happened between 2018 and 2020.

Perez was arrested this week and is being held at the Yuma County Jail on a bond of $100,000.
