Temple Terrace police said the girl agreed to buy Burger King with money the man gave her before she was forced into his car and sexually assaulted.<\/p>\n

TEMPLE TERRACE, Fla. \u2014 Temple Terrace police are looking for a man they say abducted and sexually assaulted a 13-year-old girl.<\/p>\n

Officers said a group of teens was approached by a man in a grey or silver Nissan Altima at around 6 p.m. Monday at the Doral Oaks Apartments complex<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The driver asked the group if they were willing to buy food from the Burger King in exchange for money he provided. While most of the group declined, one 13-year-old girl agreed.<\/p>\n

The girl went to the Burger King located at North 56th Street, purchased the food and came back to the complex to give it to the man.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As she approached his car, officers said the man forced her inside and drove off.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Officers arrived at the complex and attempted to look for the girl before she returned just before 9:30 p.m.<\/p>\n

The teen told investigators that the man forced her into the vehicle, went to an undisclosed location and sexually assaulted her.<\/p>\n

The man was described by the 13-year-old as having a blonde or sandy-colored ponytail and a reddish blonde beard. He reportedly told her his name was either “Brian” or “Ryan” and said he was 19 years old.<\/p>\n

Investigators are now working to identify the suspect.<\/p>\n

Anyone with additional information regarding this case is encouraged to contact the Temple Terrace Police Department at (813) 989-7110.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Temple Terrace police said the girl agreed to buy Burger King with money the man gave her before…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":176547,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[135,137,136],"class_list":["post-176546","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tampa","tag-tampa","tag-tampa-headlines","tag-tampa-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/176546","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=176546"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/176546\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/176547"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=176546"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=176546"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=176546"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
