JACKSONVILLE, Fla. \u2014 A 15-year-old was arrested for several felonies, including attempted sexual battery, after allegedly trying to sexually batter two women, says the Jacksonville Sheriff\u2019s Office (JSO).<\/p>\n
Due to the suspect\u2019s age, Action News Jax will not be identifying or sharing his booking photo.<\/p>\n
According to JSO, on April 29, District 3 responded to Touchton Road Park, where a woman reported that a young man grabbed her on the walking path. The suspect tried to allegedly take the victim into the woods and simulated holding a gun to her back. The victim fought the teen off and called police, but the teen was already gone before officers arrived.<\/p>\n
JSO says Special Assault Unit detectives launched an investigation and worked continuously until two days later, a person who saw the battery called police after seeing the teen suspect at the park. <\/p>\n
The witness identified the suspect as the attacker, and he was soon taken into custody.<\/p>\n
JSO says detectives learned that the teen suspect attempted to sexually batter another woman at his apartment complex\u2019s pool earlier that month.<\/p>\n
The teen suspect was arrested for three felonies: Attempted Kidnapping and Attempted Sexual Battery for his actions at Touchton Road Park, and Attempted Sexual Battery for his actions at the apartment pool.<\/p>\n
