UNION COUNTY, N.C.,None — Sheriff's detectives fear there may be more victims after three teen girls allege they were sexually assaulted by an 18-year-old man from Indian Trail.
"There may be even more victims out there that just haven't come forward and reported it," said Capt. Cody Luke with the Union County Sheriff's Office.
Deputies arrested Robert "Bobby" Viehmeyer late Sunday night after a five-month investigation.
Authorities said Viehmeyer raped a female juvenile at his Indian Trail home last November. Detectives said that victim came forward after another teen reported Viehmeyer attempted to rape her in February.
"He would ask the victims to come over, and it appears he took advantage at that point," Luke said.
Recently, a third victim filed a sexual assault report with the Union County Sheriff's Office. The victims range from 13 to 15 years old, deputies said.
Viehmeyer's mother denied the allegations when Eyewitness News contacted her, saying Viehmeyer hasn't lived at home in months.
Viehmeyer remains in the Union County Jail on a $75,000 bond.
