A teenage boy is under arrest accused of repeatedly molesting a young girl known to him.

Eighteen-year-old Pedro Nena is charged with six counts of second-degree criminal sexual conduct.

The victim allegedly told police the abuse started in May 2023 when she was 12.

She alleged Nena molested her at least two additional times the following year.

Nena allegedly admitted to police that he inappropriately touched the child once, and denied the other incidents.
