Detectives said four victims recently said they were involved in multiple sex acts with George Philip Foord, 54, while they were underage.

Detectives added that Foord now lives in the Ridge Manor area and is still in contact with some of the alleged victims over the phone. They added that he also has sexually explicit photos saved on hard drives, printed Polaroid images, and regular printed images.

According to the Hernando County Sheriff’s Office, Foord’s home recently sustained flood damage and mobile storage unit was located in the driveway of his property. They noted that he was staying at a nearby hotel located on Windmere Road in Brooksville.
