According to the arrest report, detectives believe Polit Faggioni, 37, who was born in Guayaquil, Ecuador, abused the girl about seven years ago in Miami-Dade.

A judge denied Polit Faggioni’s bond. He faced a charge of lewd and lascivious molestation of a child younger than 12 years old, a second-degree capital felony.

Inmate records show correctional deputies held Polit Faggioni on Monday afternoon at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center.
