50-year-old Thomas Lehnerd
(Deming) – A Luna County resident  is facing 170 counts
related to alleged child sex abuse offenses in  Pennsylvania.

50-year-old Thomas Lehnerd was  arrested by the Luna County Sheriff’s Office on a Butler, Pennsylvania, warrant  containing an extensive list of charges, including a combined 126 counts of  aggravated indecent assault with a child and deviate sexual intercourse with a  child.

Sheriff’s Investigator  David Holguin said the charges involve three female family members, with the  crimes beginning when the children were toddlers and continuing for  years.

Some of the crimes date  back to nearly 20 years ago, and the victims are all now  adults.

Lehnerd moved here with  his wife three years ago after visiting an aunt who lives in Luna  County.

He was arrested at his Marana  Road Southeast home Tuesday after local authorities were notified by  Pennsylvania authorities that he may be living here.

Holguin said there was no reason  to believe Lehnerd committed any crimes in Luna County.

LAS CRUCES, N.M. (AP) — A federal  judge is considering whether to grant a new trial to a Deming couple and their  son who were convicted of making false statements during a 2011 firearms sting  at their Luna County gun store.

A jury convicted Rick and Terri  Reese and their son, Ryin, in August of making false statements on investigation  forms. They were acquitted of most of the charges stemming from an investigation  in which undercover agents posed as straw buyers of guns in  2011.

According to the Las Cruces  Sun-News, a defense motion says prosecutors violated the defendants' due process  rights by failing to turn over evidence that could challenge the credibility of  a prosecution witness.

Judge Robert C. Brack held a  hearing Monday in Las Cruces.
