A Gainesville man is behind bars Sunday evening for having sex with a young boy. Police busted him at 3:30 this morning in a gainesville park.

Police say Edgar Moultrie, 35, was sitting in a vehicle with the 16-year-old minor at Northeast Park. When police approached the vehicle, Moultrie ran through the woods trying to escape.

The boy told police he only knew Moultrie for a few days and they were having consensual sex.

"He was caught having consensual sex with a person clearly almost 20 years under his age and because of that age difference factor he was charged," Lt. Keith Kameg said.

Moultrie's bond was set at $115,000. He is charged with unlawful sexual activity with a minor and resisting an officer. He also violated the city's ordinance for being in a park after hours.
