SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) Federal officials have accused a Sioux City man of crossing state lines to have sex with a young boy in Nebraska.
Court documents say 47-year-old Phanaphay Sengkeo has been charged with having sex with someone younger than age 12.
Authorities say the man drove to South Sioux City to pick up the 8-year-old son of one of his friends. He took the boy back to his Sioux City home and allegedly committed sex acts with the boy.
