WESTON, Fla. — A 17-year-old who was arrested on accusations of attempted sexual battery will be charged as an adult.
Police arrested Anthony Gonzalez Tovar on April 17.
Broward Sheriff’s Office deputies previously released surveillance footage they said shows Gonzalez Tovar exposing himself before approaching a woman sitting on grass along the 16300 block of Golf Club Road in Weston on April 8.
Authorities alleged the video showed Gonzalez Tovar looking around before grabbing the victim from behind, who fought back until the suspect ran off.
Gonzalez Tovar was taken to the Juvenile Assessment Center, but he has since been transferred to the Broward County Main Jail.
He will eventually be scheduled for a court appearance to face the attempted sexual battery charge as an adult.
