A 50-year-old Lithonia man faces an aggravated child molestation charge after being caught in a sex act with a young boy, according to DeKalb police records released Tuesday.

It was the victim’s father who discovered Milton Rodriguez in a 2008 Lexus ES350 with the child before daylight Monday morning, the documents say. The child’s age was redacted, but the warrant says the victim was a boy under the age of 16, who told his father they were having sex.

“Defendant jumped out of car naked,” the tersely worded warrant says.

Police soon got a call about a fight.

The father told officers he found the crime taking place on a residential street off Ga. 124. It was about eight miles from Rodriquez’s home.

Further information wasn't released.

Rodriguez remained in the county jail Tuesday afternoon without bond.
