An elderly Salisbury man charged with indecent liberties with a child admits to multiple victims throughout the past 10 years.
Aubrey Neal Grimes, 81, of 1040 Ashford Circle, was charged Thursday with two counts of first-degree sex offense with a child and one count of taking indecent liberties with a child.
Rowan County Sheriffís Officials said Friday that Grimes has been associated with Little League baseball in eastern Rowan County.
He apparently did some announcing and scorekeeping, said Capt. Kevin Auten.
The incidents occurred in 2007 at Grimesí home. A parent filed a report that opened up the case.
Grimes, also known as Pops, was convicted in 1987 of indecent liberties in Guilford County.
Officials said the reason Grimes was not on the sex offender registry is because the N.C. registry was not in use until July 1996.
Officials ask any other victims to come forward or anyone with information to contact Sgt. Chad Moose at 704-216-8687 or Det. Jason Whitley at 704-216-8712.
