OMAHA (NE) -- There are now at least two young girls accusing Stewart Newman, 38, with sexual abuse.

Police reports obtained by KETV NewsWatch 7 show an 11-year-old girl's mother told police on Thursday that her daughter was sexually assaulted by Newman between September and December of 2009 while attending a fighting class at King of King's Lutheran Church.


Last Wednesday, the Omaha youth minister who works with children as a martial arts instructor, band leader and choir director was charged with sexually abusing a 10-year-old girl.

That alleged victim said she was sexually assaulted by Stewart Newman for four years. Newman appeared in a county courtroom for his first hearing on a first-degree sexual assault of a child charge. He waived his preliminary hearing, so the case now moves to district court.

The original police report states Newman first assaulted the girl in March 2005, when she was 6. The alleged abuse continued until last December, the document said.

Newman was released after posting $7,500 bond.

When asked to respond to the allegations on Wednesday, Newman said, "I honestly cannot comment at this time. I need to let it takes its course and make sure it gets handled correctly."
