Collier County sheriff's deputies arrested a 74-year-old man Thursday after they say he grabbed a 14-year-old girl and tried to lure her away as she sat outside a North Naples bagel shop.

Bobby Gene Bordges, 1545 Oyster Catcher Pointe, Apt. B, Naples, was charged with luring and enticing, a felony.

Arrest reports say the teen was sitting outside Einstein Bagels, 5311 Airport-Pulling Road in the Bed Bath & Beyond plaza, around 3:55 p.m. when Bordges approached her and told her that she looked lonely and that she was pretty.

Bordges then allegedly grabbed her hand and urged her to come with him, reports said. She refused and he grasped her hand more firmly and pulled her toward him, reports said.

The teen pulled her hand away from Bordges and went inside the bagel shop and sought help from an adult patron, reports said.

The patron went outside to confront Bordges, who ran away. The patron alerted deputies.

Deputies canvassed the area and located Bordges outside a restaurant in the shopping plaza. The teen identified Bordges as the man who grabbed her.

it is funny to see only 8 posts on this. where as a flasher got 115 posts yesterday.

Both incidents are horrible. Both men should be put away.

But looks like bloggers minds are on something else and the issue is not child safety.

COLLIER COUNTY RACISM

on that note..

i am very relieved that the teen had the wits to go inside and grab a responsible adult and that the CCSO responded and found the pervert.

way to go CCSO ! ! !

He must have been confused, all the other old perv's are at Veterans Park or Vanderbilt Beach. He must of missed the "Geezer Gram" that went out this week.

of course we all know that the 14 year old girl was completely innocent.

Sure Slash, I'm sure she was hanging out at the bagel place trying to pick up a 74-year-old.

What an ignorant comment.

Thanks to the person who helped her. It's nice to know there are people who will get involved to keep kids safe.

NO, I dont know her. But YES, the 14 YEAR old was MOST completely innocent!! I hope you're not 'suggesting' other Slash......DONT EVEN!

He looks like he put back a few.
What a sicko. Sorry Borges, you can't do that stuff these days! Maybe he'll die before getting prosecuted.

THESE DAYS?!?!?!? Not THEN, as well as now!! This has never been ok. The inmates will take care of this one. HOPEFULLY!

This is so sick, and CCSO has to improve the way they teach teenagers to react to jerks like this.

CCSO needs to have a training program for teenage GIRLS NOW! They have karate for the older residents, but when will the CCSO help teens to not fall victim to this behavior.

Teens can't even sit at a bus stop and be safe anymore. Get with the program CCSO.....train teens to protect themselves.

At least they caught him though.

Beetlejuice calm down don't try to spin this to a CCSO problem. They offer classes in self-defense to the entire community - just so happens that most teenagers aren't interested in a self-defense class (unless it gets them out of 3rd Block English).

Toast the old piece of white bread trash.....!

Scum is scum no matter what the color! The next time anybody of color commits a hanis act that is posted on this site I reserve my right to speak my mind and post it right here,like it or not!

I Love America...Just not the yellow,brown,black,white,red scum at the bottom of the pond.

Hope that does'nt make me racist.

Perverts like this are incurable!!! No matter what incarceratin they receive, the minute they are free, the first task is to find a vulnerable child!!!

Castration, Lifetime Incarceration, or Execution is the only failsafe prevention!!!

I'm sure some here will say I'm a Bigot and/or Prejudiced against PEDOPHILES now!!!

I say, " I'm Guilty as charged"!!!

After reading all of your posts I've decided to comment. I read the story and all I gathered from it is that the man said the girl was pretty and grabbed her hand and held it while talking to her. When she pulled away, he did not let go.

There was not very much contextual information supplied about the incident, only those few bits offered by the paper and in my opinion that is hardly enough to call this man a pervert or child molester. He did not grab her breast or rear and he did not pull up with a big black van and ask her "Do you want some candy little girl?” He talked to her in the middle of cafe outside, at 4 in the afternoon.

First of all, 14 year old girls these days DO NOT look like 14 year olds. They typically look more like 18-20 year olds. Call it a sign of the times or whatever, but if she looked 18 or older then chances are this man was thinking he was hitting on a WOMAN not a 14 year old girl. Unless she was sitting there listening to the latest Jesse McCartney tune blaring in her IPod, studying 8th grade literature, with a Hannah Montanna shirt on, I highly doubt that the normal passerby would have thought "Oh she must be 14".

Secondly, there was no mention where in the world the girl’s parents were. Who allows their 14 year old daughter to sit outside in a cafe alone? I realize that it was the middle of the afternoon but its always been my experience that children should be supervised especially under the age of 16.

I’m not being biased I am just offering another opinion on this incident. And since when did being accused of a crime automatically make you guilty and throw you into the realm of adjectives such as white trash, child molester, sicko, etc etc etc.

The court and justice systems in this country are set up to give a fair and unbiased trial to the accused and who are we as readers of a 181 word article (with limited information) to pass judgment on this situation?

This guys lives at Naples Bath and Tennis on "Oyster Catcher Pt."

What are the odds of that.

I'll bet he was on his way home from "Clam Pass".

After a day of "FLY FISHING" at "CLAM PASS" where he caught some "YOUNG & UNDERSIZED ILLEGAL SNAPPER", he was on his way home to "OYSTER CATCHER POINT" and stopped by Einstein Bagels for a "LITTLE TUNA CROISSANT"!!!

CASTRATE HIM!!!

Well said What_Say....and no I will not calm down
Dcoop and unbiased until you realize that CCSO needs to protect young teens in this communtiy..both MALE AND FEMALE....especially at bus stops.

Teens are forced to show up at a bus stop in Eastern (the GG estates portion of) Collier County before dawn to arrive to school on time, and loons like this are lurking and waiting for them.

When a new leader in CCSO comes on board, maybe changes wil be made in this regard.

Til then, no....I will not calm down until new self defense programs are offered to teens here.

Beetlejuice,

You missed the premise of my post. I said nothing about the CCSO, bustops, or anything of that nature.

If you are going to address my post or myself, please keep it relavent to what I was saying. I read the article, analyzed what I saw, and commented.

I directed nothing toward any particualr poster/comment, I never told anyone to calm down, and I never said anything about bus stops or teenage self defense.

I simply offered another point of view on the subject, whether you agree with it or not is your matter,not mine.
