Damon Harper with the Snellville Police Department.The girl's neighbors said "Mime" doesn't live at the house. They told police he was a day laborer who did construction work for them and sometimes spent the night there."If this guy has done this to this girl, there's no telling if he's done this before, or if he'll do it again. So we want to catch him," said Harper."She's just coming into being a young lady and to have what is so personal taken from her by somebody that cared nothing, felt nothing, it's horrible for her," said Jane.Jane said her granddaughter will be going to counseling soon. Authorities ask anyone with information about the man to call Snellville police.
