Authorities say 20-year-old Andrew Rae IV fondled a girl while she attended a daycare operated by his mom. They say the alleged incidents started when the girl was five to nine years old during 1999 to 2004. The victim is 14 now.
Rae was arrested on several counts of sexual battery but is being handled through the juvenile justice system due to his age at the time of the alleged crimes.
Detectives have not released why Rae was charged now. They do say there may be two other victims but they have not been located so the Manatee County Sheriff's Office is asking for help finding them or other victims.
They are taking calls at 941-747-3011 ext. 1925 or through Crime Stoppers at 866-634-TIPS.

Walter Earl Taylor Charged with Sexual Battery
The Palm Beach County State Attorney's Office has announced the grand jury indictment of a registered sex offender for another rape case in which he is accused of sexually battering his 3-year-old neighbor more than 25 years ago.
Walter Earl Taylor, 39, of Lake City, has been charged with sexual battery on a person under 12 by a person under 18.
The charge stems from a 1983 cold case that Boynton Beach police senior investigator Toby Athol helped solve.
DNA tests confirmed Taylor sexually battered the toddler when he was 14, the State Attorney's Office said Thursday.
Taylor, who is being held in the Palm Beach County Jail without bail, already has served almost 14 years for raping another child.
He was released in 2001 after serving that term.
