A Brooklyn man pleaded not guilty Saturday to sexually abusing a 10-year-old boy.

Police arrested Angelo Serrano on Friday and charged him with one count of attempted sexual conduct with a child in the first degree and endangering a child's welfare.

Authorities also removed a computer from his home in Clinton Hill.

Reports say Serrano was a volunteer at St. Lucy's Church near his home.

Neighbors told NY1 they did not believe the allegations.

"He's a beautiful guy. He really loved the children. He spent a lot of time with them and all like that," said neighbor Robert Hernandez. "And he spent a lot of time working at the church there. He's a good neighbor and all. He never really bothered no one."

There are reports investigators are looking into other possible cases of abuse involving Serrano.

Serrano was being held on $150,000 bail on Saturday.

He is due back in court on September 30.
