Broward man accused of sexual battery on girl he met outside Pembroke Lakes Mall

PEMBROKE PINES, Fla. – A South Florida man is behind bars, facing sexual battery charges.

Police say 28-year-old Kevin Rubio met a girl at Pembroke Lakes Mall on Thursday.

That’s when they say the victim got in Rubio’s car in the mall’s parking lot and the two engaged in what police called “sexual activity.”

After that, Rubio allegedly took the girl to his home in Miramar, where she spent the night.

Rubio is facing six charges related to sex acts with a child, including lewd and lascivious acts with someone between 12 and 16 years old.

A judge set a total bond of $450,000 and ordered Rubio not to have any contact with the victim or anyone else under the age of 18. The judge also ruled that Rubio will need to wear a GPS tracking device if and when he bonds out of jail.

Pembroke Pines police are asking anyone with more information to call their Investigations Division at 954-431-2225.
