A North Carolina man has been arrested by Florida authorities after picking up a pre-teen girl and taking her to a motel, where, police allege, he sexually assaulted her. The victim, who is only 12, was reported missing from her home in Osceola County on January 31. Police did not specify what town the girl was from in a statement issued Tuesday, February 10. The pre-teen had told her parents that she would be spending that night at a friend's house. However, in reality, she was planning to meet up with Edar Fabricio Dejesus-Matheu, 22.
