The first two girls told investigators Evora invited them to his house, offering them "ice cream, pizza and movies," then lifted one girl's shirt and kissed her on the abdomen.

Deputies said the third victim also successfully picked him out of a lineup.

She told deputies Evora grabbed her, and deputies said the store's surveillance video confirms that.

Evora made his first appearance in court over the weekend and an arraignment date of April 30 was set. He is being held in the Clay County Jail on $200,000 bail.

Deputies said tips from the community helped lead them to Evora.
