"Child abuse by a trusted adult is every parent’s worst nightmare," Maricopa County Attorney Rachel Mitchell said in a statement. "The three victims in this case have been scarred for life, and we must now seek justice for them to the fullest extent of the law."

Garcia was indicted on one count of molestation of a child, and 11 counts of sexual exploitation of a minor.

His trial is scheduled to begin on Sept. 19.
