A 57-year-old Sarasota man faces multiple charges after a teenage girl accused him of molesting her during a July 4 sleepover at a home on Siesta Key last year. Behad Izadi is also accused of supplying kids Xanax and alcohol. According to the Sarasota County Sheriff’s Office, its investigation into Behzad Izadi’s alleged criminal actions began in April when the now 14-year-old girl told a counselor she had been sexually battered during a July 4 party in 2016 when she was 13. The girl said she and a group of friends had been invited to a party at a rented condo near Siesta Beach, where the assault allegedly took place. Izadi was also recently charged in a similar crime in Bradenton.
