Seffner, Florida — A man is facing charges of sexually abusing a girl during Sunday school classes, detectives said.
Hillsborough County Sheriff’s deputies arrested 47-year-old William A. Richardson II at his home on Lakewood Drive in Brandon.
He’s facing the death penalty for charges he sexually battered an 11-year-old girl during Sunday school at First Baptist Church of Mango in Seffner.
Richardson is also accused of molesting the girl when she was 9 or 10 years old and sheriff’s spokesman Larry McKinnon said fondling may have happened multiple times during the past three years.
Detectives say Richardson said things that made it clear he had committed the sexual battery during a phone call with the victim that deputies were listening in on.
