A 61-year-old man from China faces charges of unlawful sexual contact following his arrest in Freeport over the weekend.

Qun Liu was arrested after he was allegedly seen inappropriately touching a 7-year-old family member on Main Street in Freeport Saturday afternoon. The behavior was reported by separate, independent witnesses and confirmed with interviews with the victim, police said.

Qun Liu is being held on $50,000 bail. Officials with the federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement were alerted to the case because the man is a foreign national and speaks only Mandarin Chinese.

The man and family members were vacationing in Maine.
