Michael Grzybowicz, 26, is accused in the sickening rape of a 2-year-old girl at SeaWorld


Orlando (Florida), January 24: A federal judge in Florida on Monday convicted a 27-year-old man of raping a toddler at SeaWorld while her parents were on a ride, prosecutors said. He faces up to 60 years in prison.

Michael Brian Grzybowicz was arrested on February 19, 2011, after he raped a 2-year-old girl two days earlier while they were at SeaWorld in Orlando. Grzybowicz was with a family, including the two-year-old girl and a five-year-old boy, to celebrate the children's mother's birthday.

Grzybowicz had been asked by the parents to watch the two children while they were on a roller coaster. "While the parents were on the roller coaster, Grzybowicz molested the 2-year-old and took explicit photographs of the child, using his cell phone," the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Middle District of Florida said.

According to prosecutors, after leaving the park, Grzybowicz e-mailed the photos to his personal Yahoo! e-mail address. Two days later, at his house in Cocoa, Grzybowicz's wife found one of the photographs on his cell phone and reported it to the Cocoa Police Department. Grzybowicz's computer was also found to contain other images of child pornography.

Grzybowicz faces at least 20 years in prison and a maximum of 60 years.
