A member of Volusia County's beach patrol is under arrest for allegedly having repeated sexual encounters with a teenager who he met while she was sunbathing on the beach. Police say he also secretly videotaped the teen.

Eyewitness News confronted 44-year-old Robert Tomeris as he was led out of his home Tuesday evening.

"I know him as a beach patrol officer," a neighbor said. "I would never believe it."

Investigators executed a search warrant on his home. The 44-year-old beach patrol officer was arrested for allegedly having sex with a 16-year-old girl he met on the beach.

In a serene Port Orange community, neighbors were in disbelief. Investigators say Tameris had sex with the 16-year-old 20 to 25 times between fall and spring of 2007.

"I hear you, but I would never believe it personally, honestly," the neighbor said.

An arrest affidavit says Tameris also videotaped the sex and while he was investigated for the past couple of months, he sent the 16-year-old a picture of himself exposed.
