I can't imagine a guy saying this, then going back into the other room and acting like everything was normal.

This part of the article makes me wonder....

It goes on to say she grabbed a bat from the floor after he touched her inappropriately. She says he told her, "You will not use that on me" and later told her, "It's going to be ok."

Deputies note the girl hit the man several times with the bat before he left her room, saying, "This isn't worth it!"

I've seen how a 12 yr old can swing a bat. They can generate a good deal of power, enough to at least create some pretty significant bruises if they were to hit you. And if she's swinging a bat at him and making contact the natural defensive reaction on his part would be to put his arm up to block the hit, thus creating a bruise or bruises on his arms. I wonder if anyone noticed any bruising on him after the night in question. If they did, that could be corroborating evidence to her story.
