CCSO
Two people have been arrested after allegations of sexual misconduct with children and neglect.
On April 14, 2024, the Charlotte County Sheriff’s Office responded to a call from a woman who advised that her granddaughter’s friend may be a victim of sexual abuse. Deputies responded and began an investigation into these allegations. The Florida Department of Children and Families (DCF) was contacted and made aware of the investigation.
The Child Protective Investigator with DCF made an immediate response to the home of the alleged victims, accompanied by law enforcement, but were unable to make contact. However, an adult female shouted from inside warning them to get off the property and that she was contacting a lawyer. The case was then assigned to the Major Case Unit (MCU) of the CCSO.
The following morning, MCU detectives met with the alleged victims at their school to gather some information. Both children disclosed that they were subjected to inappropriate touching by a man, later identified as Cody Douglas Meredith (06/06/1995). Additionally, they each advised that they had informed Tiffany Janeth Miller (09/19/1990) of the inappropriate touching, but that she took no action to put an end to it nor did she contact authorities.
