An Illinois man was arrested after sneaking into a family’s home and sexually assaulting a 7-year-old girl as she slept in her bedroom, authorities said Monday.

Carlos Espinales-Guevara, 25, allegedly broke in the family’s home in Glendale Heights around 3 a.m. Sunday and crawled into the child’s bed, DuPage County State’s Attorney’s Office said in a statement.

“It is alleged that once in her bedroom, Espinales-Guevara got into the girl’s bed and sexually assaulted her,” the statement said. 

When family members became aware that the alleged intruder was in the girl’s room, they removed him from the home and called 911.
