According to the indictment, the victim was 6 years old at the time of the alleged offense.
The second charge, third-degree criminal solicitation of sexual assault, alleges that 10 days later, on Aug. 22, 2020, Carrasco-Rosalves solicited a person with the intent to commit third-degree sexual assault of the same victim.
Both offenses are Class C felonies, which upon conviction, carry a sentence of up to five years behind bars.
