Predator Arrested for Alleged Molestation

0:00It's April 21st. Welcome in. This is Tampa Bay News today, where local news meets AI. I'm Cory with the story. A 46-year-old registered sexual predator named Keith Cole got arrested in Tampa for allegedly molesting a 13-year-old girl during a home. Visit on Easter, April 14th. The team reported the incident to school staff right after, and they called in the Hillsboro County Sheriff's Office to investigate. Cole's got a history here. He was convicted back in March 2019 for sexual battery on a minor, which put him on the predator registry. Now he's facing a charge of loot or lascivious molestation on a victim between 12 and 15 years old, and officials are stressing zero. Tolerance for this kind of crime. Sheriff Chad Cromester made it clear, they're all about protecting kids and locking up predators, so expect this case to move fast through the courts.
