A former Doral medical assistant is behind bars after police learned of alleged sex crimes he committed against a girl starting when she was just eight years old.
Mauricio Bautista, 58, was taken into custody November 7th after the now teen’s mother filed a police report detailing what her daughter had said.
According to a report, the victim had taken part in the "Be Hip" course offered at some Miami-Dade high schools teaching what is right and wrong when it comes to interaction between adults and children.
After taking that class, she told her mother that she was assaulted by Bautista - who previously worked for Endocrinology Medical Service in Doral - four to six years ago when she was between the ages of eight and 11-years-old.
Bautista later admitted to police he committed the assaults and was arrested on multiple counts of lewd and lascivious molestation on a child and was given no bond.
Doral Police are investigating to see if anyone else was a possible victim and asking those who may have been abused to contact them.
