Man on probation arrested for sexual battery of teen and attempted sexual battery of girl under 12 at Greentree Park
Staff report
GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Maureon Andrell Desean McLeod, 22, was arrested last night and charged with sexual battery of a victim under 18 and attempted sexual battery of a victim under 12 years old, both at Greentree Park, in the area of the 3600 block of NW 19th Street.
The victim who is under 12 years old reportedly told Gainesville Police Department investigators that she was at Greentree Park at about 1:00 p.m. on September 18 and went into the female restroom. She said McLeod was inside the restroom and grabbed her by the hand, pulling her into a stall. She said he exposed his genitals and tried to rape her, but she ran out of the restroom and left the park.
The victim who is between the ages of 12 and 18 reportedly told investigators that she and McLeod had sexual intercourse four separate times at Greentree Park.
Post Miranda, McLeod reportedly denied having any sexual contact with the younger victim but said he had interacted with her in separate incidents. He reportedly admitted having sexual intercourse with the older victim.
McLeod is on probation after entering a plea of nolo contendere to a 2021 domestic battery charge in April 2023. A warrant for his arrest was issued in July after he reportedly violated several conditions of his probation, including not applying for jobs, not providing proof of having completed the Batterer’s Intervention Program, and not paying costs of supervision or court costs and fines.
Bail information is not made public in sexual battery cases.

So GPD couldn’t find him in the months since he didn’t comply with his probation requirements. He has shown himself to disrespect society, so maximum time in prison is appropriate if he is convicted. I guess he never learned how to attract an adult female.
The child in question is nine years old, your comment is disgusting.
Might be Adult female would laugh at him is why he likes kids
Throw the book at him.
Oh how lovely! Another public skool byproduct for helping feed our lawyers for decades to come 👹🤡🤑🍦🍦🍦
Your ignorance is dripping, the fact that you think pedophilia and sexual battery evolves from a lack of education just shows your lack of education. Maybe if people invested in a public school systems instead of their own private profit, it would be better. Maybe if the Santa’s lawyer wasn’t head of the Florida school board, it would be better.
Florida law went into effect Oct 1 that makes a sex bat on a person under 12 punishable by death. HB 1297 passed.
Who would hire this creep? Just put in in jail forever.
