A registered sex offender suspected of molesting his 10-year-old relative was arrested Monday.

Phoenix police detectives booked Andrew "Rich" Cummings, 59, into the Maricopa County Jail following an investigation that revealed he sexually molested a 10-year-old girl, police said.

Police said they were contacted by the child's mother after she witnessed some suspicious activity between the man and the girl. They arrested Cummings near 37th Avenue and Thunderbird Road in connection with the molestation.

Cummings is related to the victim, but does not live in the same house. He allegedly spent time building a relationship with the girl and had molested her over the course of two to three years, police said.

Police are asking that anyone with information on this or other incidents involving Cummings call the Phoenix Police Department Crimes Against Children Unit at 602-534-3203 or Silent Witness at 480-WITNESS.
