Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Felipe Vazquez was arrested Tuesday and has since admitted to police that he tried to have sex with a 13-year-old girl, according to a criminal complaint released by Pennsylvania State Police (via Jeff Passan of ESPN).

The complaint also said he sent the girl nude photographs of himself as well as videos of himself "committing sexual acts."

The offenses took place when Vazquez, now 28, was 26 years old.

He has been denied bail and has been charged with six counts, including statutory sexual assault, unlawful contact with a minor, corruption of a minor and indecent assault.
