A 37-year-old state employee was arrested Saturday afternoon on suspicion of sexually assaulting his 10-year-old foster son.
Kirk Patrick Decoste, a state Department of Revenue employee who has been a single foster parent since January, was arrested on suspicion of second-degree sexual assault of a child.
An 18-year-old foster son told police he returned to the family apartment late Saturday morning to find the 10-year-old and Decoste both naked.
The younger boy later told police there had been unwanted sexual contact since his recent placement with Decoste, said Lincoln Police Officer Katie Flood.
She said Decoste has no criminal record.
The Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services has placed both boys in other homes, Flood said.
