A 28-year-old Dorchester man has been charged with taking an upskirt photo of an 11-year-old girl while she walked to a bus stop.

Agustin Jaramillo was charged with one count of indecent assault and battery on a person under 14 following the alleged incident last month.

Boston police officers on June 6 responded to a call from the Conservatory Lab Charter School in Dorchester. Cops there met with an 11-year-old student who reported to school staff that she had been approached by a man, later identified as Jaramillo, while walking to the bus stop that morning.

Jaramillo reportedly handed the girl a cord and asked her to help him tie a knot. He bent down and told the girl he was going to pull up her sock. Jaramillo then allegedly used his cellphone to take a photo up the victim’s skirt and rubbed his hand against her leg.

The girl described Jaramillo as in his 30s, with a mustache, carrying a white plastic shopping bag and wearing a black T-shirt and white shorts.

Investigators reviewed video from several area cameras and saw a man matching the description interact with the victim on Wainwright Street. Police distributed still photos of the suspect.

On June 27, investigators received a tip via Facebook Messenger identifying the man in the photos as Jaramillo. Police then issued an arrest warrant for Jaramillo on June 29.

“This young girl deserves great credit for relaying to school officials what happened to her that morning,” Suffolk DA Kevin Hayden said in a statement.

“That information, along with valuable assistance from a community member, helped police make an identification and arrest,” he added. “This is yet another example of the community working with law enforcement to increase safety for all.”

During the arraignment on Monday, the Dorchester judge ordered Jaramillo held on $500 bail. Jaramillo is due back in court on Sept. 24 for a pre-trial hearing.
