Maximino Sanchez-Castro

GOLDEN, Colo. (CBS4) ― A 20-year-old man has been arrested for allegedly having sexual contact with a 12-year-old girl, officials said.

The Jefferson County District Attorney's office said Maximino Sanchez-Castro met the girl on a Web site called Mocospace.com in the middle of January. He told the girl his name was Alex and they exchanged a few text messages. They also talked on the phone a few times before Sanchez-Castro allegedly picked her up in his car at her house. Sanchez-Castro sexually assaulted the girl in his car on two separate occasions, according to the arrest affidavit.

"We have to remain diligent in trying to keep up with what kids are doing on the Internet as well as with trends online," District Attorney Scott Storey said in a prepared statement. "We are seeing more and more kids sending text-messages with their cell phones through these social networking sites, and they have their cell phones with them all the time."

Sanchez-Castro worked for BG Maintenance as a custodian at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science.

He is being held at the Jefferson County jail on $100,000 bond.

Investigators believe Sanchez-Castro is an illegal alien and a hold has been put on him by Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
