DAVENPORT, Iowa (AP) - A 53-year-old sex offender has been accused of fondling a young eastern Iowa girl.

The Quad-City Times reports (https://bit.ly/1jnJCmO ) Melvin Thomas Lucier is charged with second-degree sexual abuse and failing to register his address. He was arrested Friday and remained in jail Sunday.

Scott County Sheriff’s Detective Thomas Leonard says Lucier fondled the girl dozens of times in 2011 and 2012 when she was 4-years-old.

In 1995, Lucier was convicted of two counts of second-degree sexual abuse in Linn County in a case involving a 10-year-old girl.
