Anchorage police have arrested a man for sexual abuse of a minor after a 14-year-old girl was found dead outside a Muldoon church Sunday.
Stewart W. Emery, Jr., 45, was arrested for one count of second-degree sexual abuse of a minor, according to a statement from the Anchorage Police Department. His arraignment is scheduled for Tuesday.
Emery was with Megan Sophie Johnson when she was reported dead at the Muldoon Road Baptist Church Sunday afternoon. According to witnesses, she had also been hanging out with her 15-year-old boyfriend.
Alcohol is believed to be a factor in the case, police say. Exact cause of death will be determined when toxicology results come in, which could take about eight weeks.
