Polk County detectives says 18-year-old Justin Cruey of Auburndale is charged with molesting and battering at least five girls over the past couple of years.
The victims are between the ages of 12 and 15. Detectives say a 14-year-old girl told them she was staying at a friend's house when Cruey crawled through a bedroom window and battered her.
The sheriff's office says Cruey was also known to hang out at a local middle school after school hours. Detectives are concerned there could be more victims.
