A deputy spoke with the child, 12, who told the deputy she lost her virginity to Avis and that they’ve had sex more than 20 times. Deputies contacted Avis and brought him to the Sheriff’s Office to be interviewed.

Avis initially denied any misconduct with the girl, but then confessed after his story changed multiple times, deputies said. He told deputies he had an inappropriate relationship with the girl from 2015 until 2017.

Avis was taken to the county jail for booking.
