Daytona Beach, FL - A 36-year-old Daytona Beach man is facing felony charges of lead and lascivious behavior with both his daughter and her mother. Alexis Ortiz also faces a child abuse charge and two charges of showing obscene material to a minor. His bond is set at $190,000.

The incident report from the Daytona Beach Police Department shows they were contacted by a DCF worker on May 20, 2019. During an interview with the girl, she stated that her father would force her to watch pornography and perform sex acts on herself. She said Ortiz also made her walk around naked at home and have her identify her private parts. The girl said if she did not comply with his sexual requests, he would verbally reprimand her.

The girl also said that if she misbehaved or said something he didn't like, Ortiz would verbally or physically abuse her. She said her mother knew what was taking place and that she also performed some of the requests her father demanded.

During the interview, the girl told investigators that her father would be picking her up that day. The DCF worker and police investigator went outside to let Ortiz know about the allegations and investigation against him. They told him that he could not pick up his daughter until the investigation was complete.

Ortiz was arrested on Wednesday (July 10) of this week. He is scheduled to be arraigned on July 31. Ortiz remains in the Volusia County Jail.
