A Sallisaw man is accused of sexually assaulting a young girl last fall.

David Wayne Ardeneaux, 50, was charged Friday in Sequoyah County District Court with one felony count of lewd molestation and two felony counts of sodomy.

According to court records, the victim, a 5-year-old girl, allegedly told police that Ardeneaux had touched her inappropriately, and described what had happened to her during an incident in September.

The victim lives in Texas with her father, but the alleged abuse took place during a visit to Sallisaw, according to court records. Ardeneaux is the boyfriend of the victim's grandmother, and the girl was visiting her grandmother when the alleged abuse took place.

Sallisaw police received a taped interview with the girl from child protective services in Texas, detailing what happened to her.

Ardeneaux denied touching the girl inappropriately, court records state.

After an experiment that lasted several months, the editors at Your TIMES decided this week to end the practice of allowing anonymous comments on our website because most of the comments involve personal attacks and unfounded accusations. These comments do not add information to a story, or add any true insight. While we believe in the free exchange of ideas, it had become evident that was not what was happening in the comment section of our website. Readers can also become fans of Your TIMES on Facebook and may comment on our postings there. Readers are also encouraged to write letters to the editor to the newspaper about matters of public interest. The newspaper circulation is several times that of the web site, so readership is much higher. Letters must include a name and phone number so that we may contact the writer to verify authenticity of the letter. Letters are limited to 500 words and one letter per writer per month is accepted.
