2 Teens Say Plant City Man Sexually Abused Them For 10 Years

PLANT CITY, FL -- A 72-year-old Plant City man has been charged with sexual battery of a child after two teens came forward and told investigators they had been sexually abused for 10 years.

In March, a 17-year-old told Hillsborough County Sheriff’s deputies that David Kenneth Buser, 604 N. Forbes Road, Plant City, had been sexually abusing her since 2008 when she was about 6 years old.

Afterward, another 17-year-old came forward to say she, too, was sexually battered by Buser from 2008 to November 2017. She also was about 6 years old when the abuse reportedly began.

On April 30, Hillsborough County Sheriff’s detectives were able to corroborate the allegations of both victims who were acquainted with Buser at the time the abuse began. According to the sheriff’s office, the abuse reportedly occurred in a home in Hillsborough County.

Buser was arrested at his home Monday, May 7, without incident and booked into the Hillsborough County Jail. He is charged with four counts of sexual battery on a child and two counts of lewd and lascivious molestation on a child.
