“While we are incredibly proud of our deputies, and the teamwork that was displayed by all the agencies involved in the safe recovery of this child, we are deeply concerned for the victim’s well-being and the circumstances that led to these criminal acts,” said Sheriff Chad Chronister. “In this case, an adult knowingly engaged in a sexual relationship with a child. As we continue our investigation, we urge parents, teachers, and friends to please help us prevent this abuse from happening by always monitoring who your children are talking to and never hesitating to call law enforcement if you believe a child is in danger.”

“We are very grateful for the many tips we received, the shares on social media, and the assistance from the public to help us locate Montana. We are proud of the efforts of the many members of the Pasco Sheriff’s Office who worked throughout the night to make sure Montana was safe,” said Pasco County Sheriff Chris Nocco.

Attorney General Ashley Moody’s Office of Statewide Prosecution is prosecuting this case.

“I am horrified by the facts of this extremely disturbing case involving the sexual battery of a minor. This arrest should serve as a startling warning to parents, that there are adults living among us who would seek out and prey on our children. I am grateful for the quick actions by Sheriff Chronister and the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office to rescue the victim and arrest the monster harming her. As Attorney General, I will do everything within the authority of my office to ensure the defendant, in this case, faces justice and can never again harm another child,” said Attorney General Ashley Moody.
