A repeat sexual predator is being held at the Erie County Holding Center after an arrest on Thursday. Barry Hollis already stands accused of sexually assaulting an 8-year-old girl at Martin's Fantasy Island earlier this summer. Information from that case has allowed authorities to connect the 36-year-old Hollis with the rape of a 14-year-old girl in 2013. Hollis attracted his victim by posing as a teenage boy and connecting through a series of text messages.

He has pleaded not guilty and is being held for $200,000 bail.
