ANGLETON — Using a purple and pink teddy bear, an 8-year-old girl showed a Brazoria County jury where she said she was touched by her neighbor while he visited her parents’ Alvin home.

The girl had gone to her room because she had a headache and wanted to go to sleep. Her neighbor later walked into the room and sat in the bed next to her, she said.
