A 22-year-old Summit man was arrested Sunday night by the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office after turning himself in on sexual battery charges.

Lincoln County Sheriff Steve Rushing said a call came in at 7:12 p.m. from a mother who reported her 17-year-old daughter was sexually assaulted by a relative who came over to their home.

Severo J. Gee, 22, of 1284 Townsend Drive in Summit, turned himself in to the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office later that night. When he was taken into custody initially, the arrest report listed rape, though further information led to a sexual battery charge. He is currently in jail with bail set at $50,000.
