LAS CRUCES, N.M. —

Police said a man had sexual contact and took inappropriate photos of a 9-year-old girl he was baby-sitting.

Police said that on Feb. 22, Jose Luis Perez was asked by the girl's mother to baby-sit two of her children while she took another to a medical appointment.

Perez, who was a friend of the family, agreed to do so. Perez's wife went along with the woman, and they were gone for about 75 minutes, police said.

The next day, the girl told her mother that Perez, 47, removed her clothes and inappropriately touched her, police said.

Police also discovered that Perez took inappropriate photos of the girl with his cellphone.

Perez was charged with two counts of criminal sexual penetration of a child, one count of criminal sexual contact of a minor and bribery of a witness.

He was booked into the Dona Ana County Detention Center without bail.
