When Brandon Keith Donato, 29, drove to Deltona, Florida, on Friday night, he expected to meet a 12-year-old girl he already abused twice, according to the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office. Instead, he fell right in law enforcement’s trap.

Donato is now locked up in jail on a $350,000 bond. According to investigators, the girl said she knew the defendant as a 17-year-old boy.

“Deputies learned about the case Friday evening, after the victim’s family found out she’d shared videos on her phone showing her having sex with an unknown male subject,” authorities wrote.

Donato already met the child, in the words of authorities, “for sex” two times over the previous week, deputies said. The 12-year-old’s phone contained an ongoing series of sexually explicit messages and descriptions of what she and Donato had done, deputies claim.

License plate readers in Volusia County early morning on Monday, June 10 and Wednesday, June 12 caught his vehicle tag, the sheriff’s office claimed. These were dates that the girl said she met with him. Donato is from outside Volusia in the Brevard County city of Cocoa Beach, records show.
