The investigation into sex abuse allegations has resulted in the arrest of a Newark man.
Richard O’Neil was charged with a criminal sex act following a report of possible sex abuse starting in September of 2023. It is alleged that the 23-year-old engaged in sexual conduct with a minor who was six years old.
O’Neil was turned over to the Wayne County Jail to await CAP arraignment.
