A Volusia County beach patrol officer was arrested while on-duty for alleged sexual contact with an underage girl as reported by the Bradenton Herald on their website. Robert Tameris, 44-years-old, is accused of beginning a sexual relationship with a girl who he met while she was sunbathing at the beach. The girl’s age was reported to be 16 at the time they met.
According to reports, the two began a sexual relationship in 2007 and the officer is alleged to have recorded the pair having sex without the girl’s knowledge. Investigators set up a call between Tameris and the girl in which he reportedly acknowledges the sexual relationship. He was charged with unlawful sex with a minor.
