According to investigators, Guzman lived in the same trailer park as the victim and her family but was not known to them. He reportedly told authorities he had previously seen the child and planned the assault before breaking into the home through a back door. After the attack, Guzman fled the scene. The children alerted their parents, who immediately called 911.

Deputies later located and arrested Guzman during a traffic stop after identifying his vehicle. Officials said he did not resist arrest and is cooperating with the investigation.

Guzman is currently being held at the Bulloch County Jail and is expected to appear in court early next week.
