Authorities reported that a suspected pedophile was arrested after he shared a clip of a child rubbing icing over his naked body. Andrew Sandoval, 37, shared the clip of himself with a 13-year-old girl on social media before he was slapped with child rape charges.

According to the report, the footage was mostly recorded in the bathroom of his residence in Tierra Amarilla, New Mexico, before it sparked Sandoval's arrest in April this year.

According to the Santa Fe New Mexican, Sandoval's trial date was set for March 2020 at a procedural hearing on Tuesday.

The report stated Sandoval allegedly boasted about being in a "relationship" with the minor online. In a series of social media posts, Sandoval included pet names for her and other youngsters with several heart emoticons.

In conversation with a forensic interviewer, another child claimed Sandoval had inappropriately touched her on her legs, buttocks, and genitals, according to a warrant obtained for the suspect's DNA. Furthermore, the girl alleged that Sandoval was many a time naked in front of her and her friends when they stayed over at his place.

It was reported that Sandoval allowed underage children to drink at his property. In one case, a minor girl passed out and required hospital treatment for alcohol poisoning. When police arrived to investigate his property, Sandoval scuffled with officers as they apprehended him, leading to a misdemeanor resisting arrest charge on Tuesday.

But a couple of more serious counts of felony contributing to the delinquency of a minor were dropped after authorities discovered it was Sandoval's son who had purchased the beer for the youngsters.

The alleged sex offender now faces 19 felony charges in his trial next March, including sexual contact with a minor, criminal sexual penetration and electronic child solicitation. Until then, Sandoval is being held in Rio Arriba County Jail without bond.
