An Oklahoma man who offered his home as a safe haven to an undocumented immigrant was arrested Saturday for allegedly molesting the immigrant's 5-year-old daughter.

Jose Alcides Benites, 59, was arrested on a complaint of lewd acts with a child, NewsOK reported.

Benites had posted a notice online offering to house undocumented immigrants and their children. A woman from Honduras, along with her 7-year-old son and 5-year-old daughter, accepted his offer as they planned to make their way to New York to meet up with relatives, according to the news outlet.

The family stayed with Benites for four months, until the woman found him molesting her daughter in his bedroom, according to a police report obtained by News OK.

The woman did not immediately report the incident to the police out of fear "that contacting police would get her and her two children in trouble," the police report said. Instead, she notified pastors at a nearby church who then went to the police, according to NewsOK.

Sgt. Gary Knight, a spokesman for Oklahoma City Police, told NewsOK that officers don't check the immigration status of individuals in any criminal cases, even if they are a suspect.
