Eighth-grade victim says stepfather sexually assaulted her over 4 years, according to police

A Deerfield Beach man is under arrest after investigators say he sexually abused his stepdaughter for at least four years.

Glenn Edward Colon, 48, of Deerfield Beach, who listed his place of employment as L.A. Fitness, Oakland Park, is being held on two counts, sexual battery and lewd and lascivious molestation on a minor.

The minor, who Broward Sheriff’s Office deputies met with, is an eighth grader and told detectives that Colon has been sexually abusing her since she was in fifth grade. The girl, whose parents shared custody after separating, said she would stay with her mother while in elementary school, but once in middle school, her father received custody and she would visit her mother on weekends. This was when her stepfather, Colon, would sexually molest her, the victim said. Police said he would also take sexually explicit photos of her with his cellphone while she slept.

The girl told detectives the assaults happened every weekend while she was in fifth grade, but “as she grew older the frequency lessened.” He would, however, continue to take photos of her as she showered, while she was around the house and in public. He also would make inappropriate comments and show her pornographic videos of underage girls, according to the report.
