A Highland man faces allegations he inappropriately touched a preteen girl in 2023.
Felix Cervantes, 70, is charged with Level 4 felony child molesting.
He posted a $4,000 cash bond Friday.
A counselor contacted the victim’s mom after she started acting “inappropriately” at school. The mom said Cervantes had allegations in the past, but she didn’t know specifics.

Court records show he got four years probation in 2002 for a child molesting case.
