Two men from Winona are facing charges of sexually assaulting young children, in apparently unrelated cases.

Ryan Feine was arrested in August for admitting to raping an infant girl five years ago.

Investigators now have new evidence that Feine assaulted the girl more times since then, so new charges are being prepared.

Feine is being held in the Winona jail.

In the other case, Brandon Eide is accused of molesting a 6-year-old boy after exposing himself in a bathroom.

Police say that incident happened this fall.

A court appearance for Eide has not been scheduled yet.
