Miami-Dade man arrested in Pembroke Pines teen sex case

Jamie Zane Goldbourne, 25, of Miami-Dade, was arrested Monday on charges of traveling to meet a minor and unlawful sexual activity with certain minors.

Pembroke Pines police first documented the case on Nov. 1, 2025, after the teen met Goldbourne through mutual friends and began texting with him. On Nov. 12, the girl texted Goldbourne asking to hang out; he picked her up from the foster home, took her to his Miami home and engaged in non-consensual sex with her several times before returning her to the Pembroke Pines campus. The teen told police what happened on Nov. 18, 2025, and gave a sworn statement on Nov. 25.

Children’s Harbor staff later identified Goldbourne as communicating with another juvenile at the facility and planning to meet her. Children’s Harbor is not a lockdown placement, and teens leaving the facility is normal, but residents must tell administration where they are going and who they will be with. Founded in 1996, Children’s Harbor later received a 30-year lease for its 8-acre campus in Pembroke Pines, where it has served foster youth through family group homes, supportive housing for former foster youth ages 18 to 23 and mentoring for teens across Broward County.

Under Florida Statute 794.05, a person 24 or older who engages in sexual activity with a 16- or 17-year-old commits a second-degree felony. Florida Statute 847.0135, the state’s traveling-to-meet-a-minor law, is part of the Computer Pornography and Child Exploitation Prevention Act. The Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office Special Victims Bureau handled the case after it originated with Pembroke Pines police; a warrant was issued May 11 and Goldbourne was being held on a total bond of $125,000. Broward County has about 903 children in care and 174 licensed foster homes.
