Saul Antonio Sosa, 64, of Burlington, faces three counts of felony indecent liberties with a child for an incident on Jan. 14, 2018, according to court documents filed in Orange County District Court.

Sosa now also faces two counts of felony statutory sex offense with a child and two counts of felony indecent liberties with a child for the February 2019 incident involving a child who was 6 year old at the time.
