An Orlando man is now in custody after what police describe as a months-long investigation into the alleged sexual abuse of two juveniles in Juno Beach. Authorities identified the suspect as 34-year-old Kevin Weber, who was arrested in Orlando on an active Palm Beach County warrant. Weber faces charges that include sexual battery and one count of lewd and lascivious molestation of a child younger than 12.
According to CBS12, members of the Orange County Sheriff's Office Fugitive Warrants Division arrested Weber in Orlando following a probe by the Juno Beach Police Department. The outlet reports he was taken into custody on the Palm Beach County warrant and will be transported there to face the charges. Investigators are withholding additional details while the case remains active.
What authorities are asking
The Juno Beach Police Department lists its Administration/Records phone line as (561) 626-2100 and asks anyone with tips related to the case to call that number, according to the department's website Juno Beach Police Department. The department's online pages also provide general contact and records information for residents who may have relevant details. For emergencies, residents are reminded to call 911.
Charges and legal stakes
The counts Weber faces are severe under Florida law. Lewd or lascivious molestation involving a victim under 12 is classified as a life felony, and sexual battery is also a felony offense. Those classifications and penalties are laid out in the Florida Statutes governing lewd or lascivious offenses and sexual battery.
