Richard Brown, 25, was arrested in Florida. (Orange County)A Florida man has been arrested and accused of using Instagram to lure a 17-year-old girl across two states to his home, then sexually assaulting her. Police say Brown paid over $800 for Uber rides that brought the girl through Texas and Louisiana and finally to his home in Apopka, Fla. The girl told police that she was sexually battered over a three-day period and was able to escape on Wednesday when Brown fell asleep. Brown told police that he was “only friends” with the teen and that she had needed a place to stay.
