ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — A 29-year-old man has charged with sexually abusing a girl at an Anchorage church.

David Chiklak was arrested Sunday outside a church in the Mountain View neighborhood on the city's northeast side.

A woman told Anchorage police she was in a bathroom with a girl at the church and heard someone call the child out of the room. The woman a short time later heard the girl crying in the men's bathroom.

Police say she entered the men's bathroom and saw a man with his belt unbuckled standing over the girl.

Witnesses detained Chiklak in the parking lot of the church until police arrived.

He's charged with first-degree sexual abuse of a minor.

Police say Chiklak was not a member of the church but attended a service with others.
