Wisconsin man and teen knew each other for over a year

During a police preliminary investigation, it was revealed that the two had known each other for a little more than a year, the Miami Herald reported.

While Berlick was being detained in the parking lot, the girl became agitated and indicated that she wanted to harm herself. police said.

"We figured out pretty quickly that he's not her father or relative," Monroe County Sheriff Rick Ramsay told the Herald.

Police then notified the Florida Department of Children and Families where the teen will receive mental health services until she is sent back to South Carolina.

"This is probably something that will affect her for the rest of her life," Ramsay said.

Berlick was arrested by the Monroe County Sheriff’s deputies and the FBI is the primary investigative agency in this case.
