White Man Charged After Admitting to Kidnapping 14-Year-Old Black Girl Taking Her From Georgia to Texas
A Texas man has been charged with possession of child pornography after he was accused of starting a sexual online relationship with a Black teenage girl, then transporting her from Georgia to Texas.
Robert David Fyke, a 33-year-old man from Lubbock, Texas, has been arrested on June 17. Fyke appeared in court on Monday before Judge D. Gordon Bryant.
The 14-year-old girl from Snellville, Georgia, was identified by a woman believed to be her cousin in a series of TikTok videos pleading for her return.
The teen was “found safe and sound in another state” DeKalb County police said on Wednesday via Twitter. The update was a eesponse to a Tweet identifying the victim as a runaway who was last seen at her father’s home on May 15. It’s now believed the teen was lured out by Fyke on or about May 15, and taken to Lubbock. Authorities allege they were working with other agencies to get the victim back home to suburban Atlanta.
Last week DeKalb police obtained a warrant accusing Fyke of one count of interference with custody, alleging that he “knowingly or recklessly” took a child away from the person who “has lawful custody of such child.”
The Lubbock County District Attorney’s Office charged Fyke with sexual assault of a child.
According to a criminal complaint, Fyke has admitted to law enforcement that he exchanged sexually explicit images with the victim before they met in-person, and continued to take pictures of her after he took her to Lubbock. Fyke first met the teen through an online group intended for people seeking a relationship with an age gap of 17 years or more. Fyke initially told officers that the victim told him she was 19, but admitted during a polygraph that he knew before picking her up she was 14.
Police tracked the teen’s cellphone to a home rented by Fyke in hopes of finding her, however, were initially unsuccessful. Authorities then confronted Fyke at work, and found “numerous sexually explicit images” on his phone once Fyke consented to a search. He told police the teen left him for someone else in either Pennsylvania or Connecticut on June 11.
Investigators found a handwritten note from Fyke to the victim that said, “I’m sorry … for everything I’ve put you through. I’m sorry for having sex with you and taking advantage of your situation,” Everything Lubbock reported.
