 The father called Daytona Beach police on Friday to report he had
interrupted his son being assaulted, and could be heard telling a
dispatcher he left the attacker "nice and knocked out" and "in a
puddle of blood" on the floor.
Raymond Frolander, 18, faces a felony sexual battery charge on a
victim under 12-years-old, according to a police charging affidavit.
The father had not been charged in the beating.
"We observed the defendant laying motionless on the living room
floor with several knots on his face and bleeding from his mouth,"
police wrote in the affidavit.
Daytona Beach Police Chief Michael Chitwood, asked by a local CNN
affiliate whether he had any issue with the father's actions, said:
"Not as a police chief and not as a father."
Media photos show pictures of Frolander severely beaten, with
bloodied lips, bruises around his swollen eyes, and scratches on his
neck.

Reuters could not independently confirm Chitwood's statement. He did
not immediately respond to requests for comment.
