OCALA - A 25-year-old man was charged Thursday with sexual battery on a child after he reportedly molested a 6-year-old girl, according to a Sheriff’s Office report.
The girl told investigators that Ricardo Amaya put her on a bed, pull her pants down and molested her. The girl said that when she tried to scream Amaya covered her mouth.
The girl told officials that she reported the incident to her mother, who in turn called deputies.
Amaya, who is an undocumented immigrant, was brought to the Sheriff’s Office for an interview. He declined to say anything.
He was then taken to the Marion County Jail.
