A suspected illegal immigrant is facing six misdemeanor charges for allegedly peeping into school and business restrooms across the east San Gabriel Valley.

Cristian Estrada, 32, has been charged with invasion of private property, peeking into a bathroom and child molestation, said Jane Robison, a spokeswoman for the L.A. County district attorney's office.

Estrada, also known as Estrada Diaz, is suspected of climbing under the stalls in the women's bathroom at the Westfield mall in West Covina, a Panera Bread eatery and Best Buy store.

Estrada was arrested in unincorporated Azusa earlier this week by Covina police. He remains behind bars in lieu of $20,000 bail, according to sheriff's booking records.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement has placed an immigration hold on Estrada at the L.A. County Jail, which means he will be turned over to the agency's custody upon release.
