Man Arrested After Teen Claims She Was Raped At Florida Hotel

A Georgia man is accused of following a 14-year-old girl back to her hotel room at a Florida resort and raping her, police said.

Authorities in Daytona Beach Shores said Monday that Nelson Hernandez Garcia is charged with sexual battery.

Police reviewed surveillance video at El Caribe Resort which corroborates the teen's story that she was followed to her room.

Investigators say the 23-year-old suspect followed the girl from the swimming pool to the elevator.

They say after attacking her in her hotel room, he left his phone number in her cell phone and called her three times.

A detective posing as the teen in a text later got the suspect to return to the hotel where he was arrested.
