Nevada youth corrections employee arrested, accused of sexual assault

North Las Vegas police arrested a 34-year-old youth corrections employee and accused him of sexual assault.

In a statement Thursday, police said they learned of a possible sexual assault about 10 a.m. Tuesday. North Las Vegas police spokesman Aaron Patty said detectives arrested Kyle Ziemann, 34, on four counts each of sexual assault of a child younger than 14 and lewdness with a child younger than 14, along with two counts of open or gross lewdness.

Detectives said the case involved a girl he knew.

Patty said officers arrested Ziemann while he was working at Summit View Youth Center, a maximum-security juvenile corrections facility at 5730 Range Road near Interstate 15.

Child and family services are helping with the investigation.
