William Malgren is now being held on $1 million bond. The arrest warrant accuses Malgren of performing sex acts on a child under 16 years of age and continuous sexual abuse of a minor.
Investigators tell KREM 2 News the abuse happened in the mid-80's, when Malgren lived in Southern California.
Family members say the charges are "trumped up" and that they support Malgren unconditionally.
