Police said in court records that Lopez and the girl became “romantically involved years ago,” when he was 17 and she was 12. On Nov. 2, the girl’s mother allegedly observed Lopez sexually abusing the girl inside her home and called police, who arrested him.

Authorities haven’t revealed how the two met. The burglary charges allege that Lopez entered the girl’s home with intent to commit sexual abuse.

Lopez has no prior criminal history, according to the criminal complaint.
