NASSAU COUNTY, Fla. \u2014 A Jacksonville man was arrested and charged with sexual battery and other charges after allegedly sexually abusing a minor, the Nassau County Sheriff\u2019s Office (NCSO) says.<\/p>\n

According to NCSO, 23-year-old Colby Garrett Rhoden was arrested on Monday after an investigation revealed the alleged abuse started when the victim was a young child and continued for several years.<\/p>\n

Also, investigators determined that the incidents occurred in Jacksonville and later in Hilliard. The victim\u2019s statement given to investigators in October states the alleged abuse continued after Rhoden turned 18.<\/p>\n

Allegedly, Rhoden committed the abuse after inviting the victim to watch television in a room. According to NCSO, the victim said they were afraid to refuse.<\/p>\n

Rhoden was booked into the Nassau County Jail and Detention Center on a bond of over $100,000. He is charged with two counts of sexual battery and two counts of lewd or lascivious battery.<\/p>\n
