PANAMA CITY — Officers have arrested a local man after DNA evidence allegedly implicated him in the sexual battery of a 15-year-old girl, according to Bay County Sheriff’s Office records.
Bobby Doyle White, 43, was arrested Monday on charges of sexual battery on a person less than 18 years of age after providing the victim with an intoxicating substance. White was arrested in connection with an incident from Sept. 9 of last year, BCSO reported.
During an interview between the juvenile and the Florida Department of Children and Families, she told officers White allowed her to consume alcohol until she was intoxicated and passed out. She awoke to find White performing sexual acts on her, according to arrest records.
Investigators retrieved a pair of shorts, identified by the victim as what she was wearing that day, which were later tested and returned with White’s DNA on them. He was arrested Monday and charged with sexual battery on a helpless person under 18 years of age.
