Phoenix police arrested a Maricopa County Sheriff's detention officer Monday on suspicion of molesting a now-teenage family member.
Police said the girl told her mother, who also is a detention officer, that the relative molested her about five years ago.
The Republic is withholding the officer's name to protect the girl.
According to police reports, the officer admitted the crime after submitting to and failing a polygraph examination.
He was then arrested on suspicion of sexual conduct with a minor.
Police said the officer was placed on administrative leave for the job he held since November 2005. Further determination of his employment was still pending.
