Raymar P. Fraser was arrested Monday and booked on charges of kidnapping, battery and interference with the custody of a minor, according to an arrest report. He remained jailed as of Wednesday morning.

Investigators say the encounter began around 10 a.m. Sunday outside the Think Thrift store at 3200 N. State Road 7, where the teenager was waiting for the shop to open and walking toward another business in the same plaza.

According to the report, Fraser pulled a gray pickup truck into a parking space and began flirting with the girl, asking her age. When she said she was 16, he allegedly asked whether she wanted to get breakfast with him and whether she had ever been with an older man. She declined, deputies said.

Fraser then gave the girl his phone number and texted her his name, "Ray," the report states. He opened the passenger door and told her to get inside, but she told investigators she was nervous and did not want to enter the vehicle.

Deputies say Fraser sat in the passenger seat, pulled the girl between his legs and hugged her. When she refused his request for a kiss, he allegedly kept holding her and kissed her forehead and cheek. He then lifted one of her legs, placed a hand on her back and pushed her into the truck, closing the door behind her, according to the report. The teenager tried to open the door but could not work the unfamiliar handle, and Fraser told her to stop trying before driving off, investigators said.

Meanwhile, the girl's mother grew worried and began calling her daughter. Using the Life360 phone-tracking app, she saw the teenager was moving away from the thrift store, authorities said.

Fraser drove the girl to a 7-Eleven at 7901 W. Commercial Blvd. in Tamarac, telling her he was meeting a friend to buy "tickets," according to the report. The girl managed to open the passenger door and get out, but deputies say Fraser spotted her walking away, followed in his truck and ordered her back. When she refused, he allegedly stopped, got out, grabbed her wrist and forced her back into the passenger seat.

According to investigators, Fraser continued touching the teen's leg and kissed her on the mouth against her will while driving, commenting on how pretty she was. As her mother kept calling, Fraser told the girl to tell her mother they were at a store and could get in trouble for being together, the report states. The mother instructed her daughter to get out of the vehicle immediately.

Deputies say Fraser became nervous and eventually pulled over near the 7200 block of West Commercial Boulevard, where the teenager escaped. Her mother located her using Life360 and picked her up near a Chevron station at 5585 N. University Drive in Lauderhill.

Detectives obtained surveillance video from a nearby business showing a gray Ford Sport Trac approaching the teenager at about 10:07 a.m., with the girl standing stiffly and appearing reluctant as Fraser pulled her toward the vehicle, according to the report. Investigators identified Fraser using the truck's license plate and the phone number he had given the girl.

When detectives reached Fraser by phone, he agreed to meet them at his parents' home in Sunrise, authorities said. According to the report, he asked, "Is she OK?" and said, "It's not illegal to pick someone up." After being read his Miranda rights, Fraser acknowledged approaching the teenager, learning she was 16 and "escorting her" into his vehicle, and admitted to hugging and kissing her, investigators said.

The case highlights the role that widely used family tracking tools can play in fast-moving missing-child situations, and it comes as South Florida communities continue to grapple with concerns about the safety of teenagers in public shopping areas. The charges against Fraser are accusations; he has not been convicted, and court records did not immediately indicate whether he has retained an attorney.
