Sapundjieff with the Alachua County Sheriffโ€™s Office Criminal Investigations Division Special Victims Unit was assigned a sexual battery investigation involving two juvenile victims and 37-year-old Tony Perryman. Perryman lived in close proximity to the children and had access to provide care for them. ย  Earlier that day, both victims disclosed to a relative they were sexually abused by Perryman on multiple occasions. After learning of the allegations, the relative immediately contacted law enforcement. The victims were subsequently scheduled for forensic and medical interviews through the Child Protection Team as part of the investigation. ย  Through the course of the investigation, detectives learned Perryman sexually abused and physically abused both victims over multiple years. The victims disclosed they were uncomfortable with the inappropriate contact. ย  Later that day, detectives made contact with Perryman outside his place of employment and took him into custody. He was transported to the Alachua County Jail. ย  Perryman has been charged with 12 counts of Sexual Battery by a Custodian Upon a Victim Between 12 and 18 Years of Age. ย  We commend the victims for their courage in coming forward. We recognize that disclosing abuse can be incredibly difficult, and their willingness to speak up has allowed law enforcement to hold Perryman accountable. This remains an active investigation. To protect its integrity and the privacy of the victims, no additional details are being released at this time. ย  Anyone with information related to this case is asked to contact Detective T. Sapundjieff at tsapundj@alachuasheriff.org or (352) 367-4088. ย 
Our Community Relations Team spent the day in Arch Our Community Relations Team spent the day in Archer making meaningful connections and serving our community! On the fourth Tuesday of every month, our team works out of the Alachua County Sheriffโ€™s Office Substation in Archer. The day started at the Archer Community Food Drive, where Community Relations Manager M. Sherfield and Community Relations Specialist J. Thomas, helped distribute groceries and nonperishable food items to community members in need. The fun continued in the afternoon with our Books, Bingo and Brownies event, sponsored by @childrenalachua! Children enjoyed an afternoon filled with laughter, prizes, and plenty of fun. They even had the opportunity to get an up-close look at a patrol vehicle, courtesy of Deputy Sheriff Gargulak. #protectandserve #communityrelations #archer #alachuacounty #publicservice
