OMAHA, Neb. (AP) - A second girl has come forward with claims she was sexually abused by an Omaha man who runs a youth ministry.

Police say a woman reported her 11-year-old daughter was assaulted by Stewart Newman between September and December, while attending a fighting class Newman runs.

The 38-year-old faces one count of sexual assault of a child in a separate case. Police say he assaulted a now-10-year-old girl beginning in 2005.

Police say Newman works in the children's ministry of King of Kings Lutheran Church. Newman says he and his wife direct a youth ministry program that meets there, but Newman and the church say he's not a church employee.

There is no public listing for Newman. He told Omaha television station KETV that he couldn't comment at this time.
