A California man was charged with sexually exploiting a child after allegedly filming an 11-year-old Norfolk girl in her bedroom as she was changing.

Jacob Guerrero, 23, of Woodland, California was arrested Thursday morning, according to a statement from the office of U.S. Attorney Rachael Rollins.

Guerrero allegedly climbed on top of the victim’s garage and stood outside her second-story bedroom window in order to film her as she changed. He also allegedly “conducted surveillance” of her home to make note of times when the children in her family arrived home, showered, and changed.

He allegedly did this at several homes in Massachusetts.
