Officer Flood on Foster Dad Arrested in Child Sexual Assault Case


Lincoln police arrested a 37-year-old foster dad Saturday for 2nd degree sexual assault of a child.

Officer Katie Flood says the 18-year-old foster son of Kirk Decoste came home to find him naked with the victim, a 10-year-old foster son. Flood says the 18-year-old son felt uneasy about the situation and decided to call police.

"The 10-year-old later disclosed he had been receiving unwanted sexual contact from the foster father," Flood says. "This had been occurring since June." Flood says the boy had been placed in Decoste's home in June.

Flood says both the 18-year-old and the 10-year-old were given alternative placement by Health and Human Services. She says the 18-year-old did not disclose any sexual abuse.
