Stephen Sawyer, 34, has been charged with sexually assaulting a 16-year-old girl in San Antonio, Texas
A grandmother walked in on a 34-year-old man sexually assaulting her 16-year-old granddaughter inside the family’s San Antonio, Texas home last week.
Police say the suspect, Stephen Sawyer, met the victim on social media website Mocospace, and that he friended her on Facebook two days before the alleged attack.
While they were corresponding on Facebook, Sawyer reportedly requested that the teen send him nude photos and she agreed.
Things escalated on Thanksgiving Eve, when the girl invited Sawyer over to her house.
She led him to a downstairs bathroom where they started having sex.
The girl’s grandmother heard a commotion, went to investigate and found that the door was locked.
She ordered the victim to open the door, and the victim relented.
Inside, the grandmother found Sawyer and ordered him out of her house. He was arrested the next morning by local police.
The age of consent in Texas is 17, meaning almost all sex acts with children under that age are illegal. Considerations are made if the older partner is within three years of age of the under-17 partner.
Sawyer was booked into Bexar County Jail on a charge of sexual assault of a child and was being held on $75,000 bond.
