In Rowan County Sheriff’s Office reports

Deputies charged two men in two separate incidents with sexual assaults involving children recently. One man, Travis Neil Lowder, 24, was charged with indecent liberties with a child, but faces even heftier charges from Kannapolis police.

In response to a DSS complaint, Kannapolis police searched a home on Kristen Avenue on Oct. 12. As a result of that search, police charged Lowder with one count of first-degree statutory sex offense with a child under the age of six.

He was arraigned at the Rowan County Magistrate’s office, given a $150,000 secured bond, and held. The investigation was ongoing, and evidence was found to support warrants for the two additional charges of indecent liberties with a child. Once the warrants were served, Lowder’s bond was increased by $40,000 to $190,000.

A second man, Freddy Alberto Reyes, has a previous arrest on indecent liberties with a child for allegedly inappropriately touching a 15-year-old victim back in late spring. He was originally arrested in May and released on a $50,000 bond. Reyes, 41, was arrested again on Oct. 26 for indecent liberties with a child.
