OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) -- A man whose video camera was stolen at an Oklahoma City mall faces four child sexual abuse complaints after the contents of the camera's recordings were given to police.

Authorities say 55-year-old Keramat Taghizadeh was arrested Thursday.

Police reported that two teenagers stole a video camera that was on a counter at Crossroads Mall in southeast Oklahoma City.

Investigators say the teens discovered a video inside the camera that had child pornography recorded on it and gave it to their mother, who reported it to police.

Sergeant Charles Phillips says the girl who was on the video was 11 years old at the time of the recording.

Phillips says she was shown on the tape in three separate recordings.
