Salina Police have arrested a man on 15-counts of rape in a case that occurred about five years ago.

24-year-old Michael Diederich of Junction City was booked into the Saline County Jail Thursday afternoon.

Diederich is alleged to have had sexual relations with a girl under the age of 14 between August and November of 2008, at a south Salina residence.

The victim in the case came forward to police earlier this year and after an investigation, a warrant was issued for the arrest of Diederich.

He was taken into custody in Junction City on Thursday.

Diederich is an acquaintance of the victim.
