A Lumberton man was arrested Tuesday night by the Pasco County Sheriff's Office after two young girls told investigators that he sexually assaulted them.

Stephen L. Crouchman, 58, of 7349 Lumberton Road was charged with two felony counts of sexual battery and rape of a victim under 12, according to an affidavit, which explains what deputies say happened.

Between July 21 and July 30, two girls, 5 and 8, said Crouchman digitally raped them several times.

An aunt of the victims said that while babysitting the victims, they told her what happened. Her statement was corroborated by interviews with the victims, as well as forensic examinations.

Both victims said they witnessed Crouchman assault the other. As they described what happened, each victim displayed a change in demeanor, with the older victim "appearing angry and aggressive" while describing what happened.

Crouchman was transported to the Pasco County jail at Land O' Lakes, where he remains with no bond set.
