ST. JOHNS COUNTY, Fla. – A 53-year old Clay County man was arrested Thursday on charges of unlawful sexual activity with a minor in Duval County.

St. Johns County Sheriff’s Office detectives began the investigation about three weeks ago, when they say the mother of a 17-year-old girl discovered that her daughter had met the suspect on a social website and allegedly met him and had sexual activity on one occasion.
