Zachary Greenwood, 27, of Maricopa, was arrested March 23 on two counts of molestation of a minor and continued sexual abuse of a child.
The child’s mother reported her suspicions to Maricopa Police Department Saturday night. Early Sunday morning, the mother and her child went to Phoenix Child Help for a forensic medical examination, according to the police report.
During a forensic interview at San Tan Family Advocacy Center, the child described an encounter with Greenwood and indicated previous incidents had occurred.
He was arrested at 12:44 p.m. at home on West Portobello Road in Acacia Crossing and transported to Pinal County Jail. He has a bond-eligibility hearing set for Tuesday.
