Sex and battery charges filed against man who abducted 15-year-old girl

VOLUSIA COUNTY, FL – Florida deputies have charged a man involved in a missing child case back in November with even more charges, this time, ranging from battery to promoting a sexual performance of a child.

“After further investigation into this missing child case from early November, Hilario Maldonado has been charged with additional counts of lewd or lascivious battery, directing or promoting a sexual performance of a child and possession of a sexual performance by a child,” Detective Steven Wheeler said.

In November, the hunt was on in Volusia County for Maldonado who had abducted a 15-year-old girl from DeBary. He was later caught with the child and arrested for interfering with child custody.
