City of Miami police said the suspect, Alex Terry, brought a bottle of tequila to share with the group and the victim told detectives she consumed about 10 shots and also smoked a marijuana cigar.

The victim told police that the next thing she remembers is regaining consciousness while lying on the couch with Terry on top of her, raping her.

According to the arrest report, the victim told Terry to stop but he continued until the victim told him she felt like she was going to throw up.

He then helped her to the bathroom, authorities said.

The victim told police she was unsure whether Terry had used a condom.

According to authorities, Terry admitted to knowing the victim through her friend, but denied having sex with her, saying that he knew she was a minor.

He was arrested on charges of sexual battery and contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
