A Juneau man was arrested Thursday on 16 counts of sexual abuse of a minor, plus one felony count of sexual assault, involving a teenager who was sexually assaulted in Juneau and Haines in 2013 and 2014, according to the Juneau Police Department.
Brian H. Kurtzman, 50, was contacted by JPD officers outside a business on Jordan Avenue and arrested on an outstanding $100,000 Alaska State Troopers warrant, according to a JPD information release published Friday. He was jailed at Lemon Creek Correctional Center.
The warrant was issued on June 14 after a grand jury indicted him on the 17 counts, including four counts of first-degree sexual abuse of a minor, eight counts of second-degree sexual abuse of a minor, four counts of third-degree sexual abuse of a minor and one count of first-degree sexual assault.
Kurtzman was arraigned in Superior Court on Friday at the Juneau Courthouse. A representation hearing is scheduled July 8.
