Pembroke Pines Police are saying the man they called a "danger and a threat" after being accused of sexually battering a 13-year-old girl is now behind bars.
Angel Sanchez, 27, turned himself into police Friday morning. Police say Sanchez worked in the leasing office at the Falls of Pembroke community in Pembroke Pines and lured the girl to his office.
“He befriended her and they established phone communication as well as a relationship where she would visit him at his workplace within the lobby of the community," Capt. Al Xiques said.
Detectives say the teen’s parents were suspicious something was going on and notified police.
Officers then found nude photos of Sanchez on the girl’s phone. Officers interviewed Sanchez two days ago, but when they came to arrest him he was gone.
"He's a great danger to the community. As any parent will tell you, their greatest fear is their child encounters someone like Mr. Sanchez. We want to avoid that from happening in the near future,” said Capt. Xiques.
What’s even more alarming, police say Sanchez was known to be friendly with multiple teenagers who live at the complex.
