A 19-year-old California man hitched a ride to Florida so he could have sex with a 14-year-old Brandon girl he met on MySpace, Hillsborough County deputies said.
Deputies arrested Brandon Neece on Sunday night. Neece, of Hesperia, Calif., was charged with one count of lewd or lascivious battery.
Neece had sex with the girl several times between Thursday and Sunday, but he was arrested after "the victim's parents walked in and he was in her room," sheriff's spokeswoman Debbie Carter said.
Neece told investigators he thought the girl was 20, Carter said.
