An illegal alien from Guatemala is facing sexual battery charges after he allegedly molested a 5-year-old girl at a home where he was working in Florida, according to reports.
The disturbing incidents unfolded last year at a residence in Palm Beach County.
On Dec. 13, the Department of Children and Families interviewed the child, who recounted two separate occasions when the suspect “touched her flower,” according to an arrest affidavit reviewed by CBS 12.
The victim said the first abuse occurred after the suspect lured her into a garage and proceeded to touch her private parts.
“In the second instance, the victim told investigators she was taken to the bathroom where Francisco allegedly exposed himself to her and touched her again,” 12 News reports.
On Jan. 2, Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office (PBSO) deputies questioned the suspect, who reportedly admitted to the contact but claimed it had been accidental on both occasions.
Nicolas Josefrancisco, 25, was arrested and charged with two counts of sexual battery against a victim under 12 years of age.
Josefrancisco reportedly told PBSO the victim’s family has made false accusations against him because he is an illegal alien from Central America.

It is unclear if Josefrancisco is still in PBSO custody or if Immigration and Customs Enforcement was notified about his apprehension.
