A 73-year-old man has been banned from all Volusia County beaches for six months after he allegedly passed out sexually provocative cards to teenage girls.The man says he is a father, a grandfather and a widower and admittedly lonely, so he said he walks the beach every day to engage people. Two weeks ago he said he bought a t-shirt and business cards online as a joke. “Sugar daddy seeking his sugar baby, offering a monthly allowance,” the card read. The shirt said “Accepting application 4A sugar baby.” The man told WESH 2 News that most of the people he met on the beach thought the shirt and cards were funny. He also carried bra padding, telling women, including a 16-year-old girl, that he's looking for a Cinderella to fill it.Karolina Seaman is the 16-year-old girl’s mother and doesn't believe that the man’s motives were light-hearted.“It's meant to lure girls with the prospect of money, living by the beach, getting to have this fun life,” Seaman said. Seaman said the man knew her daughter was only 16, but pressed on.“If you want something go find it in a nursing home. Don't go to the beach approaching underage girls,” Seaman said. “That shirt is going in the garbage, garbage. I'm not going to do this anymore. I just want to apologize to her and apologize to her daughter,” the man said. WESH 2 News is not identifying the man because he is not being criminally charged. Volusia County Beach Safety officers said the man never touched the 16-year-old so they could only trespass him for violating county soliciting code.The 16-year-old girl’s mother said she has alerted several organizations, including the national human trafficking organization, because she thinks he needs to be on their radar.WESH 2 News checked for a criminal history on the man and couldn't find anything in his recent past.
