Police have arrested a man for sexually assaulting a teenage girl... And tonight, they're worried there may be more victims out there.

A photo of the suspect, 21-year-old Joshua Amoroso, has not yet been released, but police say their Internet Crimes Against Children unit picked him up Wednesday inside the Chapel Hills Mall in Colorado Springs.

Investigators accuse Amoroso of sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl back in October on multiple occasions in locations across the city. The investigation initially began on October 18. This was at the same time Amoroso was apparently working as a youth pastor at a local church.
