A 26-year-old man is facing a child sexual battery charge after Lake County investigators allege he had sex with a girl he had met on a Take Your Child to Work Day.
The Eustis man was booked into the Lake County Jail on Monday afternoon on charges of unlawful sexual battery with certain minors, according to an arrest affidavit.
According to the Sheriff’s Office report, the man was a trainee at a Publix Supermarket in Eustis when he met the 16-year-old girl. She told detectives that they met on September 29, a Take Your Child to Work Day.
The man is accused of corresponding with the girl and later took her to his home, where they allegedly engaged in sex, the affidavit said.
Detectives claim the man initially denied the claim but then said the sexual encounter was consensual.
Sex crimes are some of the most emotionally complicated types of Florida criminal offenses. These cases often involve the word of one person against another, which makes the story of what events actually happened unclear.
Simply being charged with a sex crime can result in a stigma that affects your job and your relationships, not to mention the harsh consequences if you’re found guilty. Florida law takes sex crimes very seriously, especially if they involve a minor.
Due to the ambiguous nature of most sex crimes allegations, it’s important to consult with a Florida Sex Crimes Attorney at Whittel & Melton who will listen to your version of events with an open mind and make sure that your story is heard in court. We know that there are always two sides to the story and we will make sure your voice is heard.
