A teen has alleged that sexual abuse by a resident of The Villages began when she was seven years old.
James Michael Haymaker, 66, has been charged with two felony counts of sexual assault said to have occurred at his home at 3571 Amish Path, not far from the Manatee Recreation Center.
A newly released document shows the prosecutor’s office intends to show the abuse began long ago.
Haymaker is accused of having sex with the teen who had been staying at his home. Haymaker allegedly told the teen she could bring her boyfriend with her to The Villages the next summer if she allowed Haymaker to have sex with her. She laid down on the bed and Haymaker used KY Jelly to prepare the girl for sex, according to the arrest report. He ejaculated inside her “by accident,” the report said.
The victim, now 18, was interviewed last year at the Child Advocacy Center in Henrico County, Va.
The victim, whose exact relationship to Haymaker has been redacted from arrest reports and court records, said that over the years the sexual abuse would stop for a while and then start again.
She described an incident in which she woke up naked in Haymaker’s bed. He admitted that he took her from her bed, undressed her and put her in his bed, according to the document on file in Sumter County Court.
When she was 14 or 15 she went to visit Haymaker at his home in Spotsylvania, Va. and said she wanted to talk to her boyfriend, of whom the girl’s father disapproved. Haymaker reportedly said he would let the girl talk to her boyfriend if she provided him with oral sex. The girl attempted, but gagged. Haymaker took off the girl’s bottom half of her clothes and engaged in oral sex.
“These crimes pre-date the crimes that occurred within Sumter County and adequately describe the events leading up to the charged crimes that occurred within Sumter County,” State Attorney Brad King wrote in a court document indicating he planned to use the earlier incidents in the prosecution of the case.
A status conference in Haymaker’s case is set for Sept. 18.
