A man is facing charges in Yavapai County after being accused Wednesday of sexually molesting a 4-year-old child on video, according to authorities.
Ronald W. Bryden, 57, is charged with child abuse, child molestation and sexual assault, all three dangerous crimes against children under state law, according to the Yavapai County Sheriff's Office. Bryden is being held at Camp Verde Detention Center, police said.
Around 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, deputies responding to a reported sex offense in the area of Caren Way in Rimrock were told Bryden was caught on video sexually molesting a 4-year-old girl, police said. Deputies and detectives reviewed the video showing Bryden sexually assaulting the child, according to police.
Evidence was collected and the victim was sent to a medical facility where she received treatment, police said.
Sheriff's spokesperson Kristin Greene said the footage of the sexual assault was "internal video" from the home, declining to say whether it was surveillance video. Greene was unsure if the video was recent.
Further information regarding the incident was not disclosed by the Sheriff’s Office.
