Police arrested suspect Esteban Nicodemo Puentes-Gonzalez, 89, on two felony charges Thursday.
According to an arrest report from the Miami Police Department, the neighbor called police after witnessing Puentes-Gonzalez “having a 15-year-old minor inappropriately touch his penis” at the bottom of a stairwell at an apartment building at 879 SW Third St. in the city’s Little Havana neighborhood.
The neighbor recorded what happened and showed officers, the report states.
Authorities said the victim, who has known Puentes-Gonzalez since he was 2, was “nonverbal” and communicated with officers through a note in Spanish.
Puentes-Gonzalez declined to speak with officers without an attorney, police said.
