Helena man already accused in decades old child sex abuse case is facing new charges

A Helena man already accused in a decades old child sex abuse case is facing additional charges. A lawsuit filed in Lewis and Clark County Wednesday alleges that Jerrad Zitnik sexually abused a teenager on a church mission trip in 1995 when he was 19. The now 44 year old was taken into custody in Missoula in late October after new accusations he tried to meet up with a 13-year-old girl for sex. He has since been released pending further court proceedings.
