A Sand Springs man was arrested Monday on accusations that he sexually abused three children earlier this year.
Michael Wayne Eckfeldt, 36, was charged July 19 with one count of child sexual abuse and two counts of sexual abuse of a child younger than 12.
Court documents allege that Eckfeldt had sex with a 12-year-old girl and a 6-year-old girl and inappropriately touched a 7-year-old girl on the buttocks in March.
Eckfeldt, who was arrested about 6 p.m., was jailed Monday in lieu of $150,000 bond.
An emergency protective order against Eckfeldt was granted in June after a woman and five "minor petitioners" accused Eckfeldt of sexually abusing two of the children.
A court filing from July 8 shows that the protective order was not served because Eckfeldt could not be found.
