Posted
Palm Coast, FL - A 51-year-old Palm Coast man was arrested on Wednesday night for sexually battering a 16-year-old on multiple occasions. Gerald Donald Medders of 6 Zeda Place was arrested shortly after 7:30 PM on March 15. He's been charged with 3 counts of sexual battery on a person over the age of 12, and he's being held at the Flagler County Jail on $150,000 bail. The 16-year-old victim told detectives there were separate incidents over the past 3 months. “I’m very glad this man has been arrested. We won’t tolerate adults having sex with children," said Flagler County Sheriff Rick Staly. "He is truly a disgusting lowlife. He should be under the Green Roof Inn, not in it.” The investigation is ongoing.
