A state corrections officer was arrested after authorities say he had sex with a 15-year-old girl at his Homestead home.
Detrick Lamar Hussey, 35, was arrested early Thursday on a charge of lewd and lascivious battery on a child between 12 and 16, according to a Homestead Police report. No attorney information was available.
The report said Hussey met the teen on Dec. 9 at a Dollar Tree in Florida City where he gave her his phone number. They exchanged text messages and he picked her up and took her to dinner at Applebee's, the report said.
After Applebee's, they went to Fat Tuesday in Coconut Grove where they drank alcoholic beverages, the report said. After that they went to Hussey's home where they had sex, the report said.
But it turned out that a friend of the girl's mother saw them drinking at Fat Tuesday and sent the mother a Facebook message, the report said.
The next day the teen was taken to a rape treatment center and she later identified Hussey in a photo lineup, the report said.
