Search on in PVB for man who performed lewd act in front of a child

The search is on for a man who performed a lewd act in the presence of an 11-year-old girl.

The St. Johns County Sheriff’s Office tells us the girl missed her bus to school this morning, and flagged down a car while walking on Ponte Vedra Lakes Blvd. She was picked up by a man who may have then done some kind of lewd act, although the girl was not physically harmed.

Deputies say the suspect is a white man between 30-40 years old. He has medium length brown hair and was last seen wearing a dark colored shirt and green pants. The Sheriff’s Office says he may work in the medical field and may frequent a gym in Ponte Vedra or Jacksonville Beach.

The suspect is believed to have been driving a silver SUV.

If you have any information on the suspect or the incident which occurred earlier today, you’re asked to call the Sheriff’s Office Special Victim’s Unit Detective Shannon Andrews at 904-209-3998.
