A man is facing charges after exposing himself to a 9-year-old girl inside a Miami-Dade church, police said.

Demetrius Collins, 31, was arrested on one count of lewd and lascivious exhibition on a child under 16 and two counts of lewd and lascivious conduct on a child under 16, according to a Miami-Dade Police arrest report.
