JACKSONVILLE BEACH, Fla. -- A 14-year-old boy was arrested Saturday after Jacksonville Beach police say he was caught in a bathroom molesting a 3-year-old girl. Police said the boy, along with the Kingsland, Ga., family he has lived with for the past six months, came to Jacksonville Beach to visit the girl's grandmother. During the visit, the grandmother found the teenager and the girl in a bathroom inside her house. He admitted to the grandmother and to detectives who interviewed him that he digitally penetrated the girl while in the bathroom. It was not known if he had attempted sexual intercourse as well.
The boy was arrested and charged with sexual battery and transported to jail. He was then released to the custody of his biological parents, who also live in Kingsland. Detectives were investigating other allegations involving the victim's sisters.
