Child sex assault alleged by BCSO

A Meadowlakes man was arrested Wednesday on charges relating to alleged criminal sexual conduct against multiple children beginning at least as far back as 2014.

Leroy Lilley, 59, was arrested by the Burnet County Sheriff's Office (BCSO) on two formal charges of Continuous Sexual Abuse of a Child under age 14 and one count of Indecency with a Child under age 14.

According to the BCSO, the arrest and charges stem from a joint investigation that has been conducted for more than a month by BCSO investigators and the Child Protective Service of the Department of Family and Protective Services.

“During the investigation, multiple children disclosed details of criminal sexual conduct on Lilley's part spanning a time period that dates back to at least 2014,” the release stated. “The investigation is ongoing.”

He was booked into the Burnet County Jail and released on two $75,000 surety bonds and one $75,000 personal recognizance bond.

Investigation has been ongoing for little more than a month.
