PINELLAS PARK - A 34-year-old Clearwater man was arrested Sunday on a charge of committing sexual battery on a child under 12, a felony.

Christopher Omar Jacho of 1739 S Washington Ave. also was charged with misdemeanor possession of marijuana.

Jacho is a friend of the girl's family, according to a news release from the Pinellas Park Police Department. He was spending the night at the 6-year-old's home when he made her touch his genitals and perform oral sex on him, the release states. It was unclear when the alleged offense occurred.

Jacho is being held in the Pinellas County Jail awaiting arraignment. Bail has not been set on the felony charge of committing sexual battery on a child under 12. Bail for the misdemeanor possession charge has been set at $250.
