Miami-Dade, FL - A man in west Miami-Dade was arrested for allegedly molesting a 14-year-old girl at a gym, after approaching her, misrepresenting his age, and engaging in inappropriate physical contact.
According to police, 22-year-old Richard Bosch was taken into custody early Wednesday morning on charges of lewd and lascivious molestation after allegedly assaulting a 14-year-old girl at a local gym.
The incident occurred on Tuesday night at the LA Fitness located at 14100 SW Eighth St. in the Tamiami area of Miami-Dade County.
According to the arrest report, Bosch approached the girl and inquired about her age.
The girl disclosed that she was underage.
However, Bosch reportedly misrepresented his age, stating that he was 20 years old instead of his actual age.
The report states that Bosch, visibly erect, positioned himself behind the girl and proceeded to grab her waist, lifting her up.
As the girl tried to distance herself from the situation, Bosch continued to follow her and groped her buttocks over her clothing, leaving her frightened and distressed.
A witness at the gym observed Bosch trailing the girl and questioned him about their relationship.
According to the report, Bosch initially claimed that the victim was his younger sister but then changed his response, stating that she was his cousin.
