Fort Lauderdale Counselor Accused Of Molesting Camper

A Fort Lauderdale camp counselor is accused of molesting a girl who attended the summer camp where he works.

According to an arrest report, 35-year-old Christopher Lawrence Falzone met the victim in June while she attended Camp Live Oak in Fort Lauderdale.

Fort Lauderdale police were contacted Aug. 3 by the victim's mother after she heard her daughter on the phone with someone who had a "grown man's voice."

According to the arrest report, the mother took her daughter's phone and saw that the girl was on a Facebook Messenger call with Falzone.

Police said the woman asked her daughter whether Falzone had ever touched her and the girl started crying and said, "Yes."

Fort Lauderdale police detectives questioned the victim, who said that Falzone had put his hands down her shorts about 15 times and touched her over her underwear.

According to the arrest report, Falzone also told the girl that he loved her and invited her to go bowling with his third-grade class.

The girl, however, told detectives that she never saw Falzone outside of camp.

Authorities said Falzone was questioned Monday and admitted to saying "I love you" in the victim's ear. When questioned about the touching, Falzone said he didn't recall ever touching the girl, but said that he was not calling the girl a liar, the arrest report stated.

Falzone was arrested on a charge of lewd and lascivious conduct on a minor.
