Johnathan Decker, 22, is accused of picking up 12- and 13-year-old girls and the boy. According to police, Decker picked up the children, then allowed the boy to have sex with at least one of the girls in his van.

Police found his van stuck in mud under the Interstate 95 bridge that crosses the St. Marys River. The children told officers said that Decker left them there and went for work.

Investigators said they also found an address book in the van with names and phone numbers of 18 children ages 16 and younger.

The boy was charged with statutory rape and turned over to juvenile authorities.

He bonded out Tuesday for $25,000.

The Navy said Decker, a machinist mate aboard the USS Maryland, was reassigned after his arrest.

The Camden County Sheriff's Office said there may be other victims and urged any parent who thinks their children have had contact with Decker to call (912) 510-5100.
