A Wisconsin man has been accused of sexually assaulting a sleeping 10-year-old girl at a Christian summer camp in 2009.
PEOPLE confirms that Nystrom, now 33, has been charged with one count of first-degree child sexual assault contact with a child under age 13.
The victim, now in her early 20s, had not reported the assault to the church or to legal authorities at the time, but recently reported it to the Attorney General’swebsite for clergy and faith leader abuse.
Nystrom posted $5,000 bond on Friday. He is prohibited from having contact with anyone under the age of 18 unless the minor’s parent or guardian is present.

This isn’t the first time that Nystrom has faced allegations. He has been a registered sex offender in the state of Wisconsin since 2019, after he pleaded no contest to charges of sexual assault and causing mental harm to a child. That conviction stemmed from an incident in 2008. PEOPLE confirms that he spent nearly six months in jail for that offense.
According to theMilwaukeeJournalSentinel, Mt. Morris is affiliated with the American Moravian Church. The camp did not immediately return a request for comment.
Nystrom has not yet entered a plea, and court records do not reflect an attorney authorized to speak on his behalf. PEOPLE reached out to a phone number believed to be Nystrom’s, but the man who answered would not identify himself and hung up without comment.
Nystrom will appear in court on Feb. 14 for a preliminary hearing.
