Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office Justin Henry, 21, was charged with lewd and lascivious battery having sex with a 13-year-old girl after her mother found the man hiding in the teen’s bedroom closet, authorities said.

A Florida gymnastics coach was arrested for having sex with a 13-year-old girl student after her mother caught the man in the teen’s closet, authorities said.

Justin Henry, 21, was busted hiding in the teen’s room after the mother went to check on the girl in the Brandon home early Wednesday, The Tampa Tribune reported.

Henry — who coached the girl at Elite World Gymnastics in Lakeland — was arrested when cops arrived at the home a short time later.

The girl admitted to having sex with Henry twice at her home during an interview with investigators, a spokeswoman with the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office told the newspaper. The state's age of consent is 18, but includes provisions allowing 16- and 17-year-old to have consensual sex with someone between the ages of 16 and 23.

Henry was ordered held in lieu of $7,500 bail after he was arraigned on charges that included lewd and lascivious battery.

wtsp Justin Henry, 21, was arrested for having sex with a 13-year-old girl he coached at Elite World Gymnastics in Lakeland.

The girl’s mother told WTSP-TV that her daughter has been a gymnast since she was 7 and started working training with Henry in June.

“This is a guy we trusted and took in,” the gym’s manager, Andrew Muzzarelli, told the news station.

“And for him to stab us in the back and do this to us, it hurts a lot.”

But it wasn’t the first time Henry has gotten into trouble for inappropriate behavior with his students.

In May, he was arrested after he picked up one of his students and her two friends without any permission from the 14-year-old girl’s parents.

He allegedly allowed the girls to drink alcohol in his car during a drive to Clearwater Beach in the middle of the night, when he was pulled over and busted with the minors in his car.

Henry was charged with three counts of interfering with child custody.
