An Orange County man faces sexual battery and kidnapping charges after he confessed to raping a 9-year-old girl in his Pine Hills apartment Monday, an arrest report states.

The
girl's family reported the incident, which sheriff's deputies say
happened about 9 a.m. The girl told investigators she was home with her
brother while her parents worked.

That's when deputies say neighbor Maurice Smith, 64, knocked on their door. The girl told deputies that Smith offered fruit for her and her brother, and she accepted.

The
report states that the Smith talked the girl into returning to his
apartment on Borders Circle. There, authorities say he threw the young
girl on his bed and raped her.

The girl told police that Smith
asked her during the assault if it hurt, and stopped when she said that
it did. She later told her brother about it, and he told their parents.

When
interviewed by deputies, the report states, Smith admitted to having
sex with the girl, and said he knew how old she was. He was placed under
arrest and later jailed.

Smith remained in the Orange County
Jail without bail Tuesday, charged with sexual battery on child,
kidnapping with intent to commit a felony and false imprisonment.
