(WPXI) – A member of the Mount Lebanon school board was arrested in Florida after police said he sexually battered a minor. 34-year-old Andrew Freeman was arrested in Davenport by the Polk County sheriff on Wednesday. Police said that a 17-year-old victim told a family friend Freeman had kissed her, put his hands under her clothes and sexually battered her. The victim was allegedly in the same area for vacation with family and friends, which included Freeman. Authorities said that a family member entered the victim’s room and saw Freeman nearly nose-to-nose with her. After Freeman left the room, the family member began asking what had happened. Police said that Freeman admitted to the incident during an interview with a detective and said, “mistakes were made.” District officials say they are closely monitoring the developments. Freeman is being charged with unlawful sexual activity with a minor.
