Police arrested 53-year-old Leonardo Devinci Christian on Wednesday and Friday charged him with three felonies and two high court misdemeanors for criminal sexual conduct of a minor. 

Police say the abuse happened over eight months. The charges involve touching and fondling the boy.

Christian is being held on a $50,000 cash bond.
