OMAHA, Neb. (WOWT) - The man arrested in connection with a 2021 felony child abuse case made his first appearance in court Monday morning.

Domanic Brown, 31, an Omaha foster parent, has been formally charged with committing intentional child abuse causing no injury and possession of child pornography.

He’d been arrested Friday on charges of felony child abuse and child porn; police said the incident had only been reported earlier this year.

Brown is accused of engaging in sexual abuse with a 14-year-old in the backroom of a salon he owned back in 2020, then paying the victim to watch and create pornographic material with him.

Brown’s bond is set at $50,000. He has a preliminary hearing scheduled for Dec. 18.
