A man is facing multiple felony charges after Broward County deputies say he assaulted and forced a teenage victim to perform oral sex on him during a series of incidents that began earlier this month.

According to a Broward County Sheriff’s Office arrest report, Jordan Josiah Roberts, 18, of North Lauderdale, was arrested March 27 and charged with sexual battery involving a victim between the ages of 12 and 17, domestic battery by strangulation, and false imprisonment.

Records show deputies responded to a report of a sexual battery on March 26 in which the teenage victim told investigators she had been communicating with Roberts for about a month and agreed to meet him after school earlier that week.

Authorities say Roberts picked the victim up and drove her to a parking lot, where the victim told deputies that after initially sitting in the front seat, she was moved to the backseat, where Roberts allegedly made repeated demands for oral sex, threatening to hit her if she refused.

Investigators say the victim reported being struck and physically restrained during the encounter. She told deputies she attempted to leave the vehicle but was unable to do so because the doors were locked. Eventually, the victim told police she was forced to perform the sexual act out of fear for her safety before escaping the vehicle and walking home.

The affidavit also outlines additional allegations from earlier encounters between the two, including claims that Roberts placed his hands around the victim’s neck during previous meetings in a repeated effort to choke her.

Following the incident, detectives located Roberts at his residence and took him into custody. After being advised of his rights, Roberts told investigators the encounter was consensual and provided messages he claimed supported that assertion, according to the report.

However, investigators noted that other messages reviewed during the investigation included statements from the victim indicating she had been hurt and had visible bruising.

Roberts was transported to the Broward County Main Jail.
