LAS CRUCES, New Mexico -- Las Cruces police on Thursday arrested a 57-year-old man suspected of sexually assaulting an 11-year-old girl.

Carlos Prudencio Colorbio, 57, was being held without bond in the Dona Ana County Detention Center on a charge of felony criminal sexual contact.

Investigators said the arrest came after the girl reported the assault to her mother following a delay. In addition, police contend Colorbio "acknowledged the inappropriate contact" in a conversation with one of his relatives.

ABC-7 is withholding further details of the case to avoid any potential of publicly identifying the young victim.
