A 34-year-old man has been charged with the vile sexual assault of a toddler in a Chicago McDonald’s bathroom.

Christopher Puente was arrested on Wednesday morning after a witness said he saw the girl being taken into a stall and called police.

Images of Puente on surveillance footage were circulated through a community alert.

In the early hours of the following day, Puente refused to leave a local business in River North where he was charged with criminal trespass.

While investigating, officers recognized him as being the man pictured and he was linked to the sexual assault case of a three-year-old girl.

The toddler was reportedly just steps away from her parent when she was sexually abused inside the restaurant bathroom at 8.20 on Monday morning, police said.

Puente is facing charges of predatory criminal sexual assault of a victim younger than 13 years old and criminal trespass.

He was described as wearing a blue hat, black jacket, tan pants, and white gym shoes, carrying a white bag.

Puente remains in custody and will face court Thursday afternoon.

Last year a four-year-old girl was raped in a McDonald's toilet while on a day trip in Oklahoma.

The child left her caretakers to use a toilet in the playground area of the fast food giant on July 16.

A man identified as 37-year-old Joshua David Kabatra eventually opened the door with his arms raised, saying: "I was just washing my hands".

The child then told the minders that Kabatra had sexually assaulted her.

And in the UK, a paedophile lured a boy aged seven into a McDonald’s toilet in Essex and carried out a sickening sex attack.

At the time of the attack Dean Freeman, 24, was free on licence after serving just half of a sentence for abducting another boy, aged ten.

He went to the packed fast food restaurant in Basildon, Essex, on April 15 and lured his victim into the toilets.
