SWEETWATER, Fla. – Police arrested a southwest Miami-Dade man Monday on a felony charge after accusing him of giving a girl drugs and raping her in a bathroom at the Dolphin Mall in Sweetwater.

According to police, the incident happened at around 3:30 p.m. on Dec. 10 at the mall, located at 11401 NW 12th St.

An arrest report states that day, the 11-year-old told her mother that she was “raped by a stranger at the mall,” and said the suspect, later identified as David Rivero, “gave her a ‘marijuana gummy,’ took her into a family bathroom, pulled her pants down and took her virginity.”

The victim was later given an examination at Nicklaus Children’s Hospital and told the same thing to a doctor, police said.
