An Iowa City man already facing charges that he photographed a juvenile while she was naked and touched her inappropriately is now also accused of other crimes involving a five-year-old.
Iowa City Police say 58-year-old Martin Menjivar of the Modern Manor manufactured housing community created situations between August and November of last year in which he was able to spend time alone with the alleged victim inside his vehicle. Menjivar allegedly groped the girl on at least three occasions, despite her physical resistance and pleas to stop.
Menjivar was arrested Tuesday night for a separate case that saw him reportedly meet a juvenile the day before, take her to his vehicle parked on American Legion Road, place her in the back seat, and reportedly proceed to photograph the girl with her clothes off, then grope her.
Menjivar is now charged with four total counts of 2nd Degree Sexual Abuse. If convicted on all four charges, he faces a maximum sentence of 100 years in prison.
