TREATMENT CENTER WORKER ACCUSED OF MOLESTING TEEN CLIENT

The Volusia County Sheriff’s Office has arrested a former child specialist following accusations that he molested a teenage client at the residential addiction treatment program where the man worked. The defendant, 34-year-old Corey Hodges, was fired by Stewart-Marchman-Act Behavioral Healthcare after the allegations surfaced earlier this month. While no other criminal offenses were uncovered during the investigation, other teenage girls at the program said that Hodges was a pervert who would stare at their bodies, make inappropriate sexual comments and purposely drop things so that he could watch them bend over to pick them up. Hodges (DOB: 4/13/78) is facing one charge each of lewd or lascivious molestation and lewd or lascivious conduct.

The victim is a 15-year-old girl who is a client at the RAP, or Residential Adolescent Program run by Stewart-Marchman-Act. Hodges started working at the Daytona Beach facility in February. Earlier this month, the girl disclosed that Hodges had molested her two times last month while she was in her room at the RAP program. On both occasions, the victim said Hodges touched her breasts under her shirt and also rubbed her over her clothes and kissed her on the lips. Both times, she said that Hodges told her not to tell anyone about it. On a third occasion, the girl said that after she broke her finger playing football, Hodges drove her to the hospital. On the way back, the victim said that Hodges rubbed her thigh and told her to pull up her shorts, but she refused and nothing more happened.

Investigators with the Sheriff’s Office’s Sex Crimes Unit interviewed other teenage girls at the program. One, a 17-year-old, told investigators that Hodges would ask her for hugs, made comments about other girls’ bodies and talked about beating up a boy she was dating because Hodges was jealous. An 18-year-girl said Hodges told her that she should be a stripper because she had a nice body. And a 14-year-old girl revealed to investigators that while going through heroin withdrawal, Hodges ordered her to get out of her bed even though she told him that she was naked. She got up and tried to cover herself with a blanket, but she said that Hodges ordered her to drop it. During questioning by investigators, Hodges -- who lives in Palm Coast -- denied the allegations. Surveillance video from inside the facility showed Hodges going into one of the girls’ rooms, in violation of staff policies. He also violated their policies when he drove the girl to the hospital instead of having a female employee do it. Investigators offered Hodges an opportunity to submit to a voice stress analysis, but his lawyer told him not to take the test. On Monday, investigators with the Sheriff’s Office’s Sex Crimes Unit obtained an arrest warrant for Hodges. He was arrested Tuesday by the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office and transported to the Volusia County Branch Jail in Daytona Beach, where he’s being held on $60,000 bond.

Any other victims or anyone with information about Hodges is asked to call the Sheriff’s Office’s Sex Crimes Unit at (386) 323-3574.
