The Village of Tamarind Grove resident has pleaded not guilty in the case.

He was taken into custody on Nov. 4.

Carbary got in touch with the “stepfather” in August through the Skip the Games website. An Ocala Police Department officer was posing as the girl’s stepfather.

Carbary remains free on bond. He is being represented by criminal defense attorney Eric Evilsizer of Inverness.

Carbary began working at Bonifay in June. He previously worked at Evans Prairie and Cane Garden. He is no longer employed by The Villages District Government.
