Garcia left the kitchen momentarily to see if anyone was around and went back to fondling the teenager. A receptionist witnessed the incident that was also recorded on surveillance video, the report stated.
During questioning, Broward Sheriff’s detectives said Garcia admitted to doing the same thing to the same teenager in August.
The teenager did not consent to the fondling and tensed up uncomfortably when Garcia touched him, detectives said.
