A Central Florida man was recently arrested for sexual battery.
The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office arrested the 28-year-old man for sexually battering a woman in Tampa.
An investigation was launched after the victim came forward with information. During the investigation, detectives learned the victim was sexually battered and held against her will at the suspect’s residence. The victim was able to flee the residence and call for help.
Last month, 28-year-old Andrew Grant was arrested and charged with Sexual Battery and False Imprisonment.
“Sexual violence has no place in our community, and we will seek justice for survivors,” said Sheriff Chad Chronister. “We commend this victim for coming forward so we could remove this predator from our streets.”
If anyone has any additional information, the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office urges you to please come forward by calling 813-247-8200.
This is an ongoing investigation, according to local law enforcement.
