(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.
