A Victorville man faces felony
sex crime charges after police discovered him partially naked with a 12-year-old girl.
Efrain Cruz, 26, was arrested on Sunday after police spotted his vehicle on the side of the road and found him inside with the girl, who was also partially undressed. The officers said they noticed the vehicle after seeing a two-year-old boy in the back seat of the car.
Cruz and the girl, whose name has not been released, were in the front seat with the same articles of clothing removed.
Cruz has since been arrested on suspicion of
sex crimes with a child.
Cruz was introduced to the girl when her mother began dating his stepfather. According to police he has been picking up the girl from school and visiting her on a regular basis. The girl’s mother had no idea her daughter and Cruz were engaged in any type of sexual contact.
