A 24-year-old Spring Hill man has been charged with sexual battery after he met a 14-year old girl on a popular Internet site, then had sex with her, according to an arrest affidavit from the Hernando County Sheriff’s Office.
James M. Tarduno, 3137 Wiltshire Ave., was arrested Tuesday and faces charges of lewd and lascivious battery on a child 12 years of age or older, but younger than 16.
The victim told investigators that she met Tarduno on MySpace.com, a popular social Internet site frequented by young people.
The two corresponded for a month online and through text messages on cell phones, then made arrangements to meet for sex, according to the report.
Tarduno met the victim at her house last Friday and they walked to Tarduno’s home, where they had sexual contact in the driveway, the report said. They also had sex in Tarduno’s station wagon, police said.
Tarduno later admitted to the sexual offense when contacted by investigators.
