A Villager arrested on felony sexual assault charges Friday spent a little more than five hours behind bars before bonding out.
James Michael Haymaker, 66, of the Village of Hillsborough, was arrested at his home on Amish Path and booked at the Sumter County Detention Center at 1:20 p.m. He posted $50,000 bond and was released at 6:49 p.m.
Haymaker is accused of having sex with a 16-year-old girl who had been staying at his home during the summer of 2016.
There were two incidents which led to the two felony counts, according to an arrest report.
The first incident was interrupted when he heard the garage door being opened.
The second incident ended with Haymaker ejaculating inside of the girl by “accident,” according to an arrest report. Haymaker had dangled the possibility of the girl being allowed to have her boyfriend come down to The Villages the following summer as a means to persuade the girl to consent to sexual activity, the report said.
