Johnston Police say that an Imam with the Des Moines Islamic Cultural Center has been arrested and charged with sexual abuse.
Nermin Spahic, 40, is facing charges of third degree sexual abuse and sexual exploitation by a therapist or counselor.
Johnston Police were called to a home Monday evening after a report came from a person that their friend and her mother were being sexually assaulted at their home.
Officers says that they found two females, an 18 year old and a 42 year old, along with Spahic in the residence. The females say that Spahic was in the home because the 42 year old mother asked him to provide religious guidance to her daughter.
