Ocala Star-Banner - 1/7/2018

Jan. 07--OCALA -- A Silver Springs man who admitted to having sex with a 16-year-old girl and physically abusing her because he was upset that she had another man, was arrested by a sheriff's detective and charged with sexual assault, among other offenses.

The girl, who is pregnant, said she and Wayne Michael Underwood, 37, had been frequently having sex from June or July of 2017 to late August. She said she took a picture of them kissing at a lake. She said he choked her once and shoved a phone into her mouth. She said Underwood threatened to make someone beat her up because she cheated on him. In a video chat session, she said the two of them talked about her pregnancy.

Underwood told detective Todd Winkler he had sex with the girl and was upset about another man. He also said he exposed his sexual organs to the teen in a video chat as a joke.

Underwood was arrested and taken to the Marion County Jail.
