15-Year-Old Boy Assaulted In Bathroom Of Orlando Water Park
POSTED: Thursday, July 21, 2005
ORLANDO, Fla. -- A man followed a 15-year-old Orlando boy into a bathroom at a water park and sexually assaulted him, police said.
The teen was showering at about 5:10 p.m. Wednesday in a bathroom at the Wet 'n Wild water park when a man in his 50s approached him, Lt. John Mina said.
"The man approached him in the shower stall area and forced him to do sex acts," Mina said.
It was not known if the teen and the man were alone in the bathroom, Mina said.
The man was not caught. The boy reported the incident to his mother, who alerted park security, Mina said.
Orlando police Sgt. Barbara Jones said investigators were re-examining security camera footage from the park, but it may not be good enough to produce a photo of the suspect. She said police weren't immediately releasing further details.
Wet 'n Wild declined to release further information about the case, saying only that they were cooperating with the investigation.
A former middle school teacher allegedly followed a 12-year-old British girl into an Orlando hotel elevator and sexually assaulted her Monday. Carl Moore, 36, of Kissimmee, was charged with attempted sexual battery, false imprisonment and lewd molestation.
