A man is in the Bexar County Jail, accused of sexually assaulting a child. That child gave birth over the weekend and she says her infant son belongs to him.

Police say 44-year-old Juan Manuel Cepeda was arrested Sunday night, after a 15-year-old girl came forward with the claims.

Cepeda's arrest affidavit claims the rape happened in August last year. The teenager told police it was the only sexual contact she has ever had.

The affidavit also shows the girl gave birth at Santa Rosa Children's Hospital on Sunday.

The teen says Cepeda was a family friend who she knew from church.

Police say Cepeda is an illegal immigrant and a flight risk. He is being held without bond.
