A Bonneville County man is arrested after a teenage girl comes forward saying she was sexually abused by this family friend for the past two years.
According to law enforcement, 46 year old Scott Beck of Ammon was arrested June 26th on two felony counts of sexual abuse of a child under the age of 16.
