Starke man arrested in Gainesville, charged with sexual battery of 12-year-old
Staff report
GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Dameon Daquen Butler, 47, of Starke, was arrested last night in Gainesville and charged with sexual battery of a 12-year-old girl.
At about 4:40 p.m. on Thursday, the Bradford County Sheriff’s Office requested assistance in locating Butler, whose phone was pinging in Gainesville.
Bradford County Sheriff’s Deputies reported that the 12-year-old victim said she woke up to find Butler on top of her and that he told her to “take it like a woman” and raped her. She said she tried to fight him off, and another juvenile came into the room and tried to help fight him off. Butler reportedly fled the room and then fled the residence in a black Chevrolet Tahoe.
An adult told deputies that she had been out running errands when the second juvenile called her; she said she tried to call Butler multiple times, but he didn’t answer. She said he sent her a text saying, “please don’t do this to me” and “don’t, please drop charges.”
A Gainesville Police Department Officer located the Tahoe in Gainesville and made the arrest.
Butler’s complete criminal history is unavailable, but he has a history in Bradford going back to a juvenile conviction for armed robbery in 1994. Since then, he has numerous convictions for drug offenses and several dropped charges for domestic battery. Judge Susan Miller-Jones ordered him held without bail, and prosecutors filed notice that they intend to ask a judge to hold him without bail until trial.

D E A T H for those who shame Rosewood martyrs.
Now HE can take it like a man.
Two individuals reported in today’s news from Starke coming to Gainesville to commit sexual crimes…why is that?
Why hasn’t Ward or Poe invited these types to their homes? They’ve invited them to Gainesville.
He’s a registered sex offender.
Why was he out there to begin with ? He was already an offender. And always in trouble. And now some little girl is scared for life. Sick if that is what he did. He needs to go away.
This type of behavior is only cured by a permanent lobotomy of his brain. It doesn’t make sense that you would leave a 12 year old alone with with a registered sex offender for even 10 seconds but at least he is back in custody. Of course another victim scarred for life because naive people think this criminal behavior can be changed or that predator like this can be rehabilitated. Society will never learn that you can not recycle these animals.
If mom know he was a registered dex offender then she needs some charges too. If she didn’t then ladies….its not hard to find out if the man you’re dating is one. Protect your kids!!
Just because you are a registered sex offender doesnt actually mean you molest children. It could mean several different things. You could be listed as a sex offender for urinating in public. As a parent, do your research on everyone around your kid.
Lewd and lascivious act on person under 16 years old age. (Pretty obvious Dip Sh-t)
