CLEARWATER — A 45-year-old Clearwater man is accused of groping a girl in a motel pool Tuesday night.
Police said Patrick Donald Corbett was swimming with a group of children he didn't know.
He was playing with the children when he approached a 13-year-old girl and fondled her while in the water, according to police. The victim told him to stop, but he continued to grope her, police said.
The victim was eventually able to pull away and ran to her mother, who was at the pool watching over the children, according to police.
Corbett faces charges of lewd and lascivious battery on a child. He was being held in the Pinellas County Jail in lieu of $10,000 bail.
