Lakeland police on Wednesday arrested Pablo Perez-Cruz, 54, of Lakeland, on a charge he molested a 6-year-old child.

The arrest came after the father of the child called police to complain. The man also claimed Perez-Cruz gave his 12-year-old son pornographic movies disguised in Looney-Tunes cases.

Authorities charged Perez-Cruz with one count of lewd molestation of a minor under 12 years of age, and showing obscene material to a minor.

According to an arrest report, authorities are still unsure of a time frame for the alleged crimes.

Jail records show Perez-Cruz is being held for Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
