Fox News
Royce Eric-Bernard Rivard, 24, pleaded guilty to molesting a 14-year-old girl in Atlanta after meeting her online and grooming her, a local report says.
Rivard was detained at a U.S. port of entry from Canada into Michigan in April 2023 – a month after the teen came forward to her parents about the abuse, the report said.
"We applaud and appreciate the victim’s courageousness in speaking about her abuser," Douglas County District Attorney Dalia Racine said in a statement. "Too often these incidents go untold, leaving the victims to suffer in silence. We appreciate the efforts of our law enforcement partners and our team to stand up for this victim in court."
