Police in Florida have found a missing 17-year-old girl after searching the house of a known sex-offender. The man whose house the teen was found in, Alexis Diaz-Toledo, was convicted of lewd and lascivious battery involving a minor in 2014.
According to an article from Fox News, Polk County detectives paid Diaz-Toledo a visit after receiving a tip that a runaway teenage girl might be staying with a man in Dundee. At first, the 30-year-old man told the officers that he had not seen the girl for several days and denied having any knowledge of her whereabouts. He also allegedly refused to let the police search his home at first.
