COLLIER COUNTY, Fla. -- An East Naples man is facing felony child sexual abuse charges after a family member secretly recorded the crime on a cell phone.

According to the Collier COunty Sheriff's Office, an investigation determined that he was sexually abusing a child.

46-year-old Manuel DeJesus Serrano is charged with three counts of lewd and lascivious molestation on a victim under 12.

According to reports, once the victim disclosed the abuse to her sister this week, the sister put an iPhone in the room where the abuse was taking place and set it to record.

When detectives were called to the scene they reviewed the video and Serrano was arrested. The iPhone was taken into evidence.

Following his arrest Wednesday a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detainer was placed on Serrano. ICE lodges detainers on individuals arrested on criminal charges when ICE has probable cause to show they are removable aliens.

Once Serrano has satisfied his local criminal charges he will be released into ICE custody.
