Top AZ county lawyer fired after dad accuses him of filming 12-year-old at store, performing sex act in car

Sierra Vista Police Department officers then responded to the scene, and bodycam footage shows Correa repeatedly denying the allegations. 

"The allegations in this case are deeply disturbing, particularly for an officer of the court and public employee entrusted with the public's confidence," Zucco said in a statement.

A 12-year-girl later alerted her mother that she saw a man allegedly using a cellphone to record her in the cosmetics aisle.

Shortly afterward, the girl's father confronted Correa in the parking lot, "banging" on his car door, Correa said in the video. The father alleged that he found Correa watching the clip with his pants appearing "disheveled," Fox 10 reported.

When questioned by police, Correa claimed he was using his phone to call his son about dinner plans and suggested the dad was "confused," footage shows.

"He thinks he saw something. He's confused, he's angry," Correa said in the video. "He thinks that I was in the store recording his daughter with my phone. That's not true, that's absolutely not true. I was here buying gifts for a holiday party."

"That I had my phone out. Maybe? I don't know. I don't know what he thinks he saw," Correa responded.

Police seized Correa's work and personal phones before allowing him to leave Target, the Herald Review reported. He was arrested and fired from his job the following day.

Due to a conflict of interest, Correa was charged by the La Paz County Attorney's Office with harassment by surveillance, public sexual indecency and tampering with physical evidence, Herald Review reported.

Correa remains in the Graham County jail on a $25,000 cash-only bond, the outlet added.
