Santa Barbara Police have arrested a man they say molested his daughter for years.

Police say the girl, who is now a teenager, told officers about the abuse. Detectives then arrested 45-year-old Robert Ornelas in downtown Santa Barbara Wednesday afternoon.

They say Ornelas made statements that confirmed the girl's story. He was booked into jail on child molestation charges.
