According to court documents, Basilio Sanchez, 21, of New Brighton’s 70th block of Van Buren Street, was arraigned in October on counts of sexually abusing a child under the age of eleven.

The victim’s mother allegedly discovered the defendant, who was detained on June 24 on the 60th block of Jersey Street in New Brighton, with her daughter on his lap and his hands inside the front of her shorts.

Sanchez is currently facing allegations of first-, second-, and third-degree sexual abuse as well as endangering a child’s welfare.

According to internet records, his court date is set for January 14.
