A Bridgewater, Massachusetts man taken into custody on July 29 after allegedly molesting a 15-year-old girl in Bunnell in June.
James Torello, 25, was in Bunnell visiting family in early June when he allegedly molested his young family member. He flew back home to Massachusetts early the next morning, on June 7.
Later that day, the girl told her parents that Torello had molested her, and they immediately contacted the Sheriff’s Office, according to Torello’s arrest report. The girl said Torello had sent her Snapchat messages the night before, asking to touch her chest, but she thought he was joking.
She said he came into her room while she was sleeping the night before his flight and fondled and kissed her breast. The girl said she woke up while he was touching her and saw him leave a vape on her nightstand as he left the room, the report said.
The mother told detectives that she knew Torello “had issues” but thought they had been resolved, the report said. In a recorded call with the girl’s father, Torello admitted to molesting the 15-year-old girl. Torello also said he knew he had an “incest addiction,” the report said.
After the investigation, the detective filed a felony molestation charge against Torello with the State Attorney’s Office. An arrest warrant was issued for his arrest on July 26 and Torello turned himself in to the FCSO on July 29, according to court documents.
Torello is being held at the Flagler County Jail without bond.
