A year-old man who flew from Sweden to Florida to have sex with an underage girl said he knew he was breaking the law but decided to risk it because he was in love. Joaquin Rustan Nabi Olsson admitted to having sex four times with the girl whose age was between 12 and 16 years old.
Police were alerted by concerned neighbors who saw the man with the girl at a Palm Bay motel. Officers found the girl's luggage as well as used condoms in the trashcan in Olsson's room, Florida Today reported.
He told detectives from the Palm Bay Police Department that he met the girl online and was communicating with her through Instagram. He said he first flew to Florida in March and the pair spent time together in malls and in his hotel room but did not have sex until he returned to the U.
According to the affidavit, Olsson knew the girl's age but "decided to chance it" because he "loves" the victim, according to arrest reports, Orlando. Authorities said the victim told police she was not threatened or forced to have sex with the suspect whose legal guardian was her aunt and who knew nothing about the relationship. Olsson was charged with two counts of traveling to meet a minor after using a computer device to solicit sex, and three counts of lewd or lascivious behavior.
He appeared in court on Monday, where he was denied bond by a Brevard County judge. I'm concerned about the allegations," Judge Kelly Ingram said. Under the court ruling, Olsson can have no contact with the victim or her family.
