A 71-year-old man was charged with sexual assault of a child at a Woodstock movie theater.

About 12:30 p.m. on Thursday, the Woodstock police were informed by the Child Advocacy Center of McHenry County of a sexual assault allegation, according to a statement from the Woodstock police.

During an interview conducted by the Child Advocacy Center, the victim said a relative, Edgar A. Arana, had sexually abused her on several occasions, according to police. The last incident happened at Classic Cinemas in Woodstock while watching a movie on Dec. 17.

Arana, of the 100 block of Crystal Lake Road in Lake in the Hills, was charged with predatory criminal sexual assault of a child, police said. He is currently held at the McHenry County jail.

His bond was set at $250,000. He was scheduled to appear in court Dec. 27, police said.
