A man from Hialeah is locked up in Polk County facing accusations he raped a 15-year-old girl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deputies arrested Erick Rabelo, 27, Monday shortly after he flew into the Orlando International Airport, as he was traveling to meet the victim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Investigators said they got involved earlier in the day after the victim\u2019s mother told deputies she received a text from Rabelo claiming he had been dating her daughter for more than a year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The victim told deputies that the two met on the social media app Snapchat, according to the release. She said Rabelo had come to her home in July and forced himself on her, deputies said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Investigators said they recovered texts on the victim\u2019s cell phone from Rabelo. Two of the texts read \u201cyou\u2019re right I did rape you\u201d and \u201cI\u2019m a pedophile,\u201d according to a news release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe victim\u2019s mom did the right thing by immediately calling us. The detectives working this case were thorough and swift, getting a dangerously twisted man behind bars. This guy is so messed up that he actually got a tattoo on his forearm with the victim\u2019s name and the date they met on Snapchat,\u201d Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said in a statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following his arrest, deputies said Rabelo admitted to forcing himself on the victim in July.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He faces charges of lewd battery, traveling to meet a minor, and unlawful use of a two-way communication devices.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
