A man has been charged with several counts of domestic sexual battery to a victim under 12 years, Osceola County Sheriff’s deputies said.
47-year-old Harold Wright, who denied the charges, was taken into custody late last week, and charged with 7 counts of domestic sexual battery.
Investigators began their investigation on April 2, after a 5-year-old girl told her mother that Wright had sex with her several times. The girl said, it was when her mother was at work that the sex occurred.
Wright who was brought in for questioning told investigators the child might have seen him inappropriately touching himself, but he denied the sex battery allegation. However, he did say he touched the girl inappropriately.
Wright was arrested and booked into the Osceola County Jail.
