A Phoenix business owner is accused of molesting a child multiple times over a four-year period. 

Phoenix police report that on March 27 a teenage girl told her school resource officer that she had been sexually abused by a family friend for the past four years.

Police say 59-year-old Ruben Villasenor Abrego knows the family through association with his mattress store, "Sweet Dreams."

After his arrest, Abrego reportedly admitted to police that he had sexual relations with the young girl on at least five occasions over the past four years.

Abrego is being held on $250,000 bond on multiple charges of sexual conduct with a minor and child molestation.
