CLEARWATER — A 21-year-old man was arrested Sunday on charges that he molested a 13-year-old girl, the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office said.
Ronald Salle faces a charge of lewd and lascivious battery.
In an interview with detectives, the girl said that Salle kissed her mouth and neck and molested her sometime between 4 and 5 a.m. on Sunday in an unincorporated Clearwater house, the Sheriff's Office said.
"Salle admitted the victim was not a willing participant in the incident and he had asked her not to tell anyone," the Sheriff's Office said.
Salle was booked into the Pinellas County jail, where he remained Monday in lieu of $10,000 bail.
