SALISBURY — A 39-year-old man was arrested July 8 and charged with indecent liberties with children, according to police.

Gabriel Gonzelez Ibarra allegedly was engaging in illegal activity over a period of six years, from 2014 until 2020, that involved two young children who were known to him. The abuse, according to investigative reports, began when one of the children was one year old.

Ibarra was given a $25,000 bond which was subsequently met and he has been released pending his next court appearance.
