Investigators said the victim was socializing the lobby at the Camden Brickell Apartments, located at 50 SW 10th St., when Griffin, a stranger, walked up to her. He is identified in an arrest report as \u201canother resident\u201a&#8221; but it doesn\u2019t make clear whether he was living in Miami on any sort of permanent basis at the time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Authorities said Griffin began talking to the woman, introducing himself as \u201cOG.\u201d They said he eventually asked her to go to the pool with him and she agreed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">At the pool, police said Griffin\u2019s demeanor changed. They said he began pressing her for sex and asked \u201cif she has ever been with a \u2018gangster\u2019 and told her he was going to \u2018drill her.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Investigators said after she declined his advances, Griffin told her she needed to \u201cbe compliant\u201d and \u201cbecame more aggressive.\u201d They said he \u201cgrabbed her wrist and ordered her to look around.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">According to the report, when she looked around, she noticed the building security guard wasn\u2019t there. Police said Griffin repeatedly told her that \u201cno one was around, no one could see them, no one could hear them and that no one would ever know.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Eventually, Griffin exposed himself to the woman, asked her for oral sex and after she declined, told her, in part, \u201cI am going to drill you so hard. You need to be with a gangster,\u201d the report states.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Authorities said he stuck his penis in the victim\u2019s face, then tried to take her clothes off and grabbed her buttocks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Details about the Texas case that led to Griffin\u2019s arrest remain unclear. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mansfieldrecord.com\/articles\/x-640\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/www.mansfieldrecord.com\/articles\/x-640\">local police blotter report<\/a> indicated that the Mansfield Police Department arrested a Curtis Wayne Griffin on Feb. 6 \u201cfor sexual battery,\u201d though it\u2019s wasn\u2019t immediately clear whether it was the same suspect. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">The blotter lists the incident location as occurring on the same block of the same road listed as Griffin\u2019s address in the Miami police report, however. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">The Miami police report additionally lists Griffin as being taken into custody in Texas on an \u201cattempted sexual battery case\u201d on March 22.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Local 10 News has contacted Texas authorities seeking additional information.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Meanwhile, back in South Florida, court records show Griffin is also facing a separate attempted sexual battery case stemming from a Miami police warrant issued on Feb. 4. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Details about that case weren\u2019t immediately available on Monday afternoon, but records show Griffin posted a $21,000 combined bond for both cases and he no longer appeared in the Miami-Dade inmate database.<\/p>\n<p>\ud83c\udfe0 News From Your Neighborhood<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph b-article-body__copyright\">Copyright 2026 by WPLG Local10.com &#8211; All rights reserved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"MIAMI \u2014 A Texas man who told a 19-year-old woman he was a \u201cgangster\u201d named \u201cOG\u201d sexually battered&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":220968,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[225,227,226],"class_list":["post-220967","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-hialeah","tag-hialeah","tag-hialeah-headlines","tag-hialeah-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/220967","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=220967"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/220967\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/220968"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=220967"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=220967"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=220967"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
