MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. — A 47-year-old man was arrested Monday by the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office after he allegedly raped a woman who was cleaning the building where he works, authorities said.
According to an arrest report, the alleged rape occurred around 10 a.m. Monday.
The location where the crime was reported was redacted from the publicly released report.
Deputies said the victim was cleaning a bathroom in the building when the suspect, Nelson Gomez, 47, entered with a knife and demanded that the victim perform oral sex on him.
The victim refused, but Gomez forced her against a wall and raped her, the report stated.
According to the report, he then left the bathroom and the victim called police.
When deputies arrived, they found a knife in the bathroom where the victim claimed the attack occurred, authorities said.
According to the report, Gomez denied having any physical altercation or dispute with the victim, but then requested an attorney when one of the law enforcement officials who responded to the scene identified themselves as a sexual crimes detective.
Gomez was arrested on a charge of armed sexual battery.
As of Tuesday morning, he was being held at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center without bond.
