Few details about the investigation, which detectives say is ongoing, were immediately available, but Palestino is facing charges of sexual assault on a child by a person in a position of trust, sexual exploitation of a child -- both class 3 felonies -- sexual assault of a child and sexual exploitation of a child -- both class 4 felonies.

He's being held in the El Paso County Jail without bond in an unrelated case, according to Douglas County investigators, and will be transferred to Douglas County.
