TAMPA, Fla. - Deputies are searching for a man who is wanted for sexually molesting a child in Hillsborough County.
According to the sheriff's office, a child under the age of 12 came forward in late September, saying 29-year-old Stephan Corzo had been molesting her for five years.
Investigators said after Corzo was interviewed and released, he contacted a relative in Orlando and admitted to the sexual battery.
