19-Year-Old Charged After Alleged Assault Near Universal Orlando CityWalk
Investigators say a victim photo helped security coordinate with police to identify an e‑bike rider now in custody.
Overview
- The incident was reported around 1 p.m. along the walkway from CityWalk toward Universal’s resort hotels, according to local coverage citing police.
- The victim told authorities a man on a blue e‑bike reached between her legs over her shorts and that she later saw the same individual masturbating in nearby bushes.
- Universal Orlando security used the victim’s photo and description to track the suspect before officers detained a person matching the description near Hollywood Way and Turkey Lake Road.
- Police say the 19-year-old faces two charges: sexual battery and exposure of sexual organs.
- Outlets have not published the suspect’s name after his father told a court he previously underwent a Baker Act evaluation, and police say the investigation remains active.
