Mario Salaverria, 35, was arraigned in Harrison Town Court Thursday. He faces charges of unlawful surveillance in the second-degree, a class E felony, and two charges of promoting an obscene sexual performance by a child, class D felonies.

The first alleged encounter took place on May 11, records show. Salaverria, who lives on Congress St., is accused of secretly installing a cell phone in a bathroom to record the child as she was naked and touching herself in a "sexual explicit manner," according to court records.

The felony complaint says Salaverria had direct knowledge the child was under the age of 17. The victim's age was not revealed in court documents.
