According to the arrest report, Gracia visited the girl’s home in Coral Springs on two separate occasions in July 2018.

In each case, she was playing video games on her cellphone on a bed in a guest room when he cornered her, closed the door, and attacked despite her efforts to fight him off, the report stated.

Gracia disappeared until he was tracked down in Linn County, Iowa, last month and was transferred back to Broward.
