A 32-year-old undocumented immigrant was charged with sexually assaulting a six-year-old girl after her father found the stranger in bed with her in the middle of the night, police say.
Edgar Mendoza, a citizen of Guatemala, allegedly broke into a home early Tuesday morning.
Police say in the affidavit that the child's father noticed that a light had been turned off upstairs and went to investigate. The concerned father walked into his daughter's room to find Mendoza in her bed, authorities say.
Mendoza leaped up and then jumped from a second-floor window and fled on foot into the neighborhood, police say.
Police officers who responded to a 1.30am 911 call from the father searched the area and arrested Mendoza a short time later. Mendoza has been charged three counts of aggravated sex assault, endangering the welfare of a child and burglary.
The child was taken to the hospital for treatment.
The Mercer County Prosecutor's Office will seek to detain Mendoza pending trial.
