A 25-year-old from the Florida Keys is behind bars after allegedly having an inappropriate sexual relationship with a female teenager, starting when she was 15.
Dominic Portelli from Key Colony Beach was arrested and charged with multiple counts centering on sexual activity with a minor.
The relationship was discovered by the girl’s grandmother, who saw evidence on the teen’s cell phone of a relationship with Portelli that continued after her 16th birthday. The grandmother notified the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office.
After speaking with the victim, a warrant was issued and Portelli was taken into custody.
