Noel Cruz, 22, has been charged with one count of lewd or lascivious battery on a person younger than 16, Alachua County court records show.

According to the one-page sworn complaint, the alleged crime took place at the Ignite Life Center when the victim was 15 and Cruz was 20. The victim told the Gainesville Police Department that the pair first had sex in August 2021. They continued to engage in "unlawful sexual intercourse" until the victim turned 18, the complaint says.
