Gainesville man and juvenile boy accused of raping intoxicated woman at birthday party
Staff report
GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Calvin Dewayne Bradley, 27, and a 16-year-old boy were arrested early yesterday morning and charged with sexual battery on the same victim by more than one person, a charge with enhanced penalties.
The victim reportedly attended a birthday party on July 24 (Bradley’s 27th birthday) and drank “an excessive amount of alcohol,” according to the police report. She told a Gainesville Police Department officer that she remembered vomiting off the balcony and waking up on the couch. She said Bradley raped her while she repeatedly told him to stop and that after Bradley briefly stopped when he heard someone coming out of another room, both Bradley and the juvenile boy returned to her later and both raped her; she said all of the sexual acts were unwanted.
When the victim woke up the next morning, she was reportedly distraught and told multiple witnesses about the sexual battery before going to UF Health Shands ER to complete a rape kit.
Post Miranda, both defendants reportedly admitted they’d had sex with the victim and that they knew she was heavily intoxicated but continued to have sex with her, anyway. Both reportedly claimed that the sex was consensual and continually stated that the victim had consumed large amounts of alcohol.
Bradley has juvenile criminal convictions between 2011 and 2014 and one non-violent adult felony conviction. Various drug and gun charges filed against him between 2017 and 2022, including discharging a firearm outdoors at an apartment complex, were later dropped. Judge Kristine Van Vorst ordered him held without bail.
Articles about arrests are based on reports from law enforcement agencies. The charges listed are taken from the arrest report and/or court records and are only accusations. All suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
2 idiots, that’s the post.
2 monsters
How many articles every week include something similar to “Various drug and gun charges filed between 2017 and 2022 were later dropped”?
This isn’t a comment about the writing of the articles. It’s about the ridiculous amount of charges that the SA office appears to just drop.
Boy, that’ll teach ’em. We’ll let ’em see that we’ll do all of the leg work to solve crimes and arrest their sorry asses, but when we drop the charges, they’ll be so impressed and thankful, they’ll never do anything wrong, ever again.
As I often comment, it’s time for our governor to intervene in the judicial debacle Alachua County has become.
We need a new State Attorney.
Vote – Yvens Pierre-Antoine for State Attorney 8th Judicial Circuit https://yvensforflorida.com/
Why do yall always comment about the states dropped charges ? THEY GOT DROPPED BECAUSE THEY WOULDNT STICK IN THE COURT OF LAW. Theirs laws and amendments that have to be followed . You think the state attorney just wants to drop charges on criminals ? No, you rather them waste hundreds of thousands of dollars of the tax payers money on cases that want even make it to trial ? Yall with your logic always blaming the state attorney you should see the charges that get dropped in bigger cities Gainesville ain’t got nothing on dropped charges when it comes to Orlando, Tampa, Jacksonville, Miami and Tallahassee
i hope you get a taste of what you did to that poor women in prison.
This is why lynchings used to happen btw despite what you’re told about good boys who didn’t even do nuffin
They always were being judged by the content of their character and not the color of their skin.
It’s sad that it takes this to get him held without bond.
“Between 2017 and 2022, various gun charges, including shooting a gun at an apartment complex were dropped.”
I guess Mayor Ward’s gun violence program isn’t working well. Can anyone tell me why?
“He could be descended from an ancient tribe that strictly separated men and women, but without chivalry like European descendants have in their psyches today. So he can’t handle being around women. He should be excused for not having that genetic trait.”

What about the juvenile?
What’s the opposite of pedophilia?
There is no excuse for his actions. All he and the other suspect did was prey on a victim. Hopefully he will have a surprise birthday party in jail, Cake and all.
