A child porn-addicted ex-cop with a Batman fetish is now facing sex abuse charges after investigators discovered a video of him fondling a 7-year-old girl in his Florida home.
Juan Roman, a former Miami cop who called himself “Batman,” had been free on bond on child porn charges before he was re-arrested Saturday after investigators found the sickening clip on his computer, the Miami Herald reported.
The one-time detective was booked into Miami-Dade jail and ordered held without bail.
Police discovered the disturbing video on Roman’s hard drive on Thursday.

It appeared as though he’d set up a hidden camera in a bathroom of his Biscayne Bay home and then recorded himself molesting the child, the Herald reported.
Roman, 57, first caught notice of federal investigators last month when cyber-crime sleuths discovered he’d been trading child porn on his laptop.
He was arrested in late August, and police raided his home.
They later found more than 500 X-rated videos of young boys and girls on the machine.
He also appeared to have a sick sexual hang-up with the Caped Crusader.
One collection of pics showed him striking several different poses while wearing a Batman mask, cape and “Dark Knight”-themed underpants, the Herald said.
The creep, who has a Batman tattoo, even had a chilling nickname for the computer hard drive that harbored his child porn stash: the Batcave, the newspaper said.
Along with the child porn charges, Roman was now facing a rack of new counts, including lewd and lascivious molestation of a child.
Neighbors said they were disgusted by the new allegations.
“I always thought we were safe because we stay next to a cop,” one told NBC Miami.
