MIAMI (WSVN) – A 37-year-old Miami man was arrested after he was accused of stalking a 12-year-old girl and sending her explicit text messages.

Yosvany Fernandez Gonzalez faces multiple charges, which include lewd and lascivious behavior on a child, traveling to meet a minor, electronic transmission harmful to minors and possession of child pornography.

During his court appearance Friday, a judge set Gonzalez’s bond at $55,000. He was also issued a stay order and will be placed on house arrest with a GPS monitor if he posts his bond.

According to Miami-Dade police, the victim’s mother reported to police that her daughter was engaging in explicit conversations with Gonzalez. The mother told police that her daughter asked her if she could go outside twice and when she said no, the mother took her phone and found the inappropriate texts.

The texts, police said, included several explicit images and videos.
