Vazquez was already arrested in September on charges including pornography, soliciting a child, and statutory sexual assault after allegations that he had formed a sexual relationship with a 13-year old girl.

The relationship with the 13-year old girl had taken place in Lee County, Florida, where Vazquez reportedly admitted to pursuing sexual activity with her.

Vazquez now faces charges in two states — Pennsylvania, and Florida.

On Tuesday, a Pennsylvania judge denied a request from Florida prosecutors to extradite him to Lee County, per source.

As of now, Vazquez is being held in the Westmoreland County Prison in Greensburg.
