Alachua County Sheriff's Office deputies arrested a Gainesville man Monday night for having sex with a 16-year-old girl.
Torie G. Richardson, 33, was charged with sexual assault after spending Sunday night with the girl at the Motel 6 at 4000 SW 40th Blvd. The girl told Sheriff's Office deputy Brian Gregalot that she and Richardson had sex twice in the last year, according to the arrest report.
Gainesville Police also arrested Richardson for sexual assault of a girl younger than 16 years old on Dec. 13, but charges were dropped on Jan. 30 due to insufficient evidence, according to the Alachua County Clerk of Court.
The girl in the most recent case said she didn't know Richardson before he added her as a friend on Facebook last March. According to the arrest report, they communicated via telephone and Facebook before eventually meeting at Eddy Boy Park in Chiefland.
On Sunday, the two decided to meet again. The girl said she rode the bus to the Motel 6, where they smoked marijuana for about 30 minutes before having sex, according to police.
Richardson has been incarcerated in the state three times and most recently got out in 2009, according to the Florida Department of Corrections.
