Fort Lauderdale Man Accused of Impregnating 11-Year-Old Girl

A Fort Lauderdale man who police say impregnated an 11-year-old girl and fled to Haiti was back in custody in South Florida Friday, officials said.

Raymond Vincent, 46, is facing charges of sexual battery on a child and lewd and lascivious conduct in the crime, Fort Lauderdale Police said. It's unknown if he's hired an attorney.

According to police, detectives from the special victims unit responded to Broward Health Medical Center after the girl was taken there for stomach pain. While there it was discovered she was pregnant as a result of the sexual battery by Vincent, who fled to Haiti, police said.

The U.S. Marshals Florida Regional Fugitive Task Force worked with Fort Lauderdale Police's Career Criminal Unit to track Vincent to Haiti, where he was taken into custody, officials said.

The Haitian government "expelled" Vincent from the country and he was turned over to Fort Lauderdale Police.

Vincent was arrested in Fort Lauderdale in 2012 after he was accused of molesting a young girl, but he was acquitted in that case in October 2013, Broward court records showed.
