Tarpon Springs police are on the hunt for a man who allegedly kidnapped and sexually assaulted a teenage girl.

Officers say Raymond Ranzy, 35, committed the crime on Oct. 20. They connected him to the case through fingerprints taken from the 18-year-old victim's car.

Police say Ranzy has several aliases, including Ramone Dancy, Ray Ramzy, and Raymond Ramsey. He is described at 6 feet tall, 170-190 pounds, with black hair, brown eyes, a lazy left eye, multiple tattoos, and a pierced left ear.

Ranzy is also wanted on charges of violating parole in Ohio. Anyone with information about his whereabouts should call police at (727) 938-2849.
