A Sanford police officer was relieved of duty after being
arrested on child-molestation charges. A 15-year-old girl told investigators in
Texas that James Romano touched her inappropriately at his home in Seminole
County when she was between 6 and 8 years old, an arrest report states. The
touching occurred on two occasions, but "Jimmy" saw her after that
and asked whether she had disclosed their "secret," according to the
report. A 13-year-old girl told
investigators Romano had French kissed when she was between 6 and 8 years old,
the report shows.
