According to the suspect’s arrest report, the victim notified a counselor at Miami Beach Senior High School about what occurred the next day.
Police said the teen made comments to harm herself and had visible self-inflicted cut marks to her shoulder, so she was hospitalized under Florida’s Baker Act.
According to the report, Dumond Chataigne assaulted the teen after she paid him $20 to purchase liquor for her.
Police said the teen told detectives that she drank the vodka he purchased for her at a Walgreens and she became drunk.
She said she then rode off on Chataigne’s scooter to a nearby Starbucks so she could use the restroom, but he followed her inside and raped her.
A couple of her friends arrived shortly after and knocked on the bathroom door, the arrest report stated.
Police said the girl’s friends reported the assault to police officers at a McDonald’s and said they have seen Chataigne before as he frequents the area.
According to the report, the victim’s friends said Chataigne is known to be a “creep” because he would often make sexual innuendoes toward middle and high school students.
Chataigne was arrested Wednesday on charges of lewd and lascivious battery on a child 12-16 years old, lewd and lascivious molestation on a child 12-16 years old and contributing to the delinquency of a child.
As of Thursday afternoon, he was being held at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center without bond.
Jail records show the Haitian national is also being held on an unrelated probation warrant.
