Largo Man Accused of Sexually Battering Girl

A 43-year-old Largo man faces a host of criminal charges after Pinellas County Sheriff’s deputies say a young girl told a friend about years of sexual abuse.

The case against Vincent Stallman began to unfold Tuesday when the friend of the now 16-year-old girl notified authorities. Deputies say the teen told her friend about inappropriate sexual contact between herself and Stallman since she was 10 years old.

Detectives sat down with Stallman on Wednesday, an email to media from the sheriff’s office stated, and ultimately charged him in the case.

Stallman of 9136 Orchid Drive now faces a single count of capital sexual battery on a child under 12 and one count of sexual battery familial authority. He was being held in the Pinellas County Jail Thursday without bond, according to jail records.
