A Lake Tahoe man faces 35 years to life in prison on three felony charges of sexual abuse of a child.
Zachary R. Nance admitted to the charges in Douglas County District Court on Monday.
Nance was arrested in December 2022 after the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office served a search warrant in the 400 block of McFaul Way in Round Hill where he was part of an investigation into allegations of lewd acts with a child in 2017.
Nance is being charged with abuse of a minor, sexual assault of a child under 16, possession of visual conduct with a child under 16 and lewdness with a child under 14 years old.
According to court documents, Nance committed lewd and sexual acts with a child between 2017 and 2022.
Nance was remanded into custody after the hearing pending sentencing, which is now set for Jan. 22.
