A Florida man who police say committed sexual acts with a 5-year-old and made the kid watch child porn was arrested, according to the Manatee County Sheriff's Office.
Christopher Thompson, 44, is charged with capital sexual battery, exposing minors to harmful images and possession of child pornography.
Last week, the parent of a 5-year-old girl told police that she had been sexually abused earlier in the day while at a birthday party. According to an incident report, Thompson attended the party and lured the victim across the street to his house, where he committed sexual battery.
Police say he told the victim not to say anything about the incident.

Deputies also found that the victim was forced to watch sexual material that included children and a grown man. As police investigated, neighbors voiced concerns for their own children, police say.
Images found at Thompson's home led investigators to believe he has committed lewd and lascivious acts with multiple young females, the police report states. A significant amount of electronics containing child porn was taken from his resident, police say.
Thompson was arrested at his job.
Detectives believe there are more victims. Anyone with further information is asked to contact the Manatee County Sheriff's Office at (941) 747-3011.
