While she was there, she was reportedly sexually assaulted and prevented from leaving, but eventually escaped and called for help. She suffered minor injuries.

Police arrived and arrested a suspect at the address.

The 22-year-old is charged with sexual assault and forcible confinement.

He has been released from custody with a court appearance in Feb. 2021.
