The pair remained inside for about nine minutes before the girl exited and immediately reported the assault. Moskovita left the restroom shortly afterward.<\/p>\n<p>When questioned by police, Moskovita admitted entering the restroom with the girl but claimed he was assisting her, authorities said.<\/p>\n<p>Investigators said the girl later told interviewers that Moskovita instructed her to \u201ckeep it a secret\u201d and gave her a fabricated explanation to tell anyone who saw them together, Ross said.<\/p>\n<p>After the girl disclosed the assault, park employees contacted law enforcement. Witnesses told police Moskovita appeared \u201cvisibly frantic\u201d and was attempting to gather his belongings and leave with his siblings before officers arrested him at the scene.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis defendant brazenly preyed upon a vulnerable child in a community space where families expect to be safe,\u201d Deputy District Attorney Tory Reavis said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>District Attorney Amy Padden praised the victim for reporting the assault and assisting prosecutors in building the case.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile no amount of time in prison can undo the trauma inflicted upon her that day, we hope this conviction brings some measure of peace and closure to her and her family,\u201d Padden said.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the prison sentence and probation requirements, Moskovita was ordered to pay $6,835 in restitution and any future treatment-related costs for the victim, prosecutors said.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/denvermovingchronicle.com\/?p=1598\">Think it\u2019s hot now?
