Missouri – A Florida ‘boyfriend’ and Missouri parent are behind bars and charged with multiple charged following allegations of se-ual abuse involving the older man’s child. Both men face multiple charges related to the alleged incidents.

The investigation commenced when deputies responded to a possible domestic incident at the family’s residence in Missouri. There, they encountered an intoxicated underage girl, 15, who initially claimed to be 22 years old. Upon verifying her age, the deputies learned that she lived with her father, 47-year-old Fredderick, and 31-year-old Ttravis.

The younger man reportedly referred to the girl as his “girlfriend” and stated that he met her online a few years prior. He claimed they reconnected last year through the messaging application. The 31-year-old defendant also mentioned that he frequently communicated with the victim’s dad before relocating from Florida to Missouri.

The victim’s dad allegedly assisted ‘his daughter’s boyfriend (SEE PHOTO) ‘in moving to Missouri, believing him to be in his mid-20s and considering him a nice guy. The victim’s dad allegedly invited the man to move into his home with his underage daughter.

Following a grand jury indictment, both defendant were charged with several offenses. The victim’s ‘boyfriend’ faces charges including first-degree r-pe, first-degree s-domy, two counts of sttatutory r-pe, first-degree se-ual abuse, and fourth-degree chiId moIestation. The victim’s dad is charged with chiId abuse, first-degree endangering the welfare of a child, accessory to r-pe, accessory to s-domy, accessory to sttatutory r-pe, accessory to se-ual abuse, and accessory to chiId moIestation.

Authorities in Missouri revealed that the victim’s father and his child allegedly traveled to Florida to pick up the man she had been in communication with. Upon returning to their family home in Missouri, the father reportedly gave the man ‘protection’ and told him not to get his daughter pregnant.

When questioned by police about his daughter’s apparent intoxication, the father claimed that she had a tendency to sneak into his alcohol, a behavior he said he couldn’t control.

The probable cause statement noted that the younger man allegedly confessed to having several sexual encounters with the teenager, whom he believed to be 22 years old. Both men pleaded not guilty during their arraignment and are currently held without bond at the county jail.
