Chandler dental assistant accused of child molestation: Court docs
CHANDLER, Ariz. - A dental assistant in Chandler is accused of molesting at least three children while working at "Kidiatric Dental & Orthodontics."
Court documents reveal 27-year-old Deion Garcia was first accused of sexual misconduct involving a six-year-old girl. After the report, police say they learned she wasn't the only victim.
The six-year-old victim who went to the dentist a week ago asked her parents if it was part of the x-ray scan for someone to touch and massage her. Her parents filed a police report.
In the interview, the girl says she remembers Garcia touching her inappropriately and taking pictures of her body.
During Garcia's arrest on May 10, detectives found pictures on his phone of the patients, including pictures of a four-year-old girl.
The three alleged victims are between the ages of four and six years old.
Garcia's bond is set at $500,000.

"If you do post bond, I am ordering pre-trial services to supervise you in the community. They install an electronic monitor on you prior to your release," a judge said to Garcia during a court appearance.
Garcia can't go back to the scene where the alleged crimes happened, can't have contact with any minors, including his seven-year-old son and is prohibited from using the internet.
Chandler Police say this case is under investigation and if detectives believe there are more victims involved, they will notify the community.
A spokesperson for the dentist office did not want to release a statement regarding Garcia.
Garcia is accused of 14 felony counts, which include sexual exploitation of a minor and molestation.
