A Palm Coast man was arrested in connection with a molestation of a victim between the ages of 12 and 16.

Joshua Eugene Sevin, 28, was arrested by Flagler County Sheriff’s Office deputies on Jan. 31 and charged with two felony counts of lewd and lascivious molestation of a victim 12-16. Sevin was taken to the county jail, but he posted bail later the same day.

The victim told FCSO deputies that Sevin touched her while she was sleeping in the master bedroom of a residence, in two separate incidents early in the morning on Jan. 30 and Jan. 31, the arrest report said.

Sevin touched her chest, underneath her shirt, the report said. The victim told deputies Sevin told her how much she meant to him, that he loved her and kissed her forehead during both incidents, the report said.

While investigating, deputies received several admissions from Sevin corroborating the victim’s accounts, according to the report. Sevin has no prior arrest record with FCSO.
