Peoria police say a man advertising as a tutor throughout the Valley was arrested on suspicion of child sex crimes.

According to a release, detectives arrested Carl Nathaniel Adam Fredricksen, 34, around noon Thursday, July 9 on charges of child molestation, sexual exploitation of a minor, sexual conduct with a minor and furnishing harmful items to minors.
