Gainesville man arrested for New Year’s Day sexual battery
Staff report
GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Jose Luis Rosario, 40, was arrested yesterday and charged with a New Year’s Day sexual battery.
The victim reportedly said she had attended a New Year’s Eve party at Rosario’s apartment and that he had sexually battered her after the party.
The victim said she left the apartment as soon as she could and immediately sent a text to a friend about the incident, and she showed the text messages to a Gainesville Police Department officer. She went back to her residence and showered and then went to UF Health Shands to complete a sexual battery kit.
On July 9, the results from the sexual battery kit came back from FDLE, and FDLE requested buccal swabs from Rosario to compare to the results.
On August 2, the victim went to GPD headquarters to conduct a controlled call to Rosario’s girlfriend, and both Rosario and his girlfriend reportedly spoke on the call, with a GPD officer listening. During the call, Rosario reportedly said he believed the victim’s story, but he could not remember the incident; he said if she believed it happened, it must have happened. Rosario reportedly expressed remorse and apologized to the victim multiple times.
Rosario was arrested the same day, and post Miranda, he reportedly declined to answer any questions and did not consent to providing a buccal swab. The officer reportedly allowed Rosario to call someone he referred to as his girlfriend, and the officer noted that the phone number he called was the same one the victim called for the controlled call.
Rosario has multiple traffic-related convictions, including unlawful racing in 2006, reckless driving in 2018, reckless driving with alcohol in 2019, and two convictions for driving without a valid license. Judge Tatum Davis 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.
“two convictions for driving without a valid license”
Usually means he’s an ILLEGAL alien. They can’t get drivers licences in Florida.
Thanks again Joke Bidumbdumb & Cacklin Kamala (and yes…she was the border czar despite her lies)
LMAO! No reality involved.
Believe all women because that’s what society has sadly come to. I seriously can’t wait until his lawyer throws the book at this woman’s sorry a**
Spoken like a true imbecile. You don’t have any idea if what she says is true or not nor do you care. You just wanted to “get one in for the gipper.”
IF he did it as in is found guilty in a court of law, I hope he goes to prison for a long, long, time.
False convictions. Previous stuff of which he was actually found innocent on, records of this were supposedly expunged
Care to link us to where you got this information?
Look up his record, just like how you decided to take the time to comment here thinking I’m presumably uninformed.
You think it’s hard to find? Everything out there is public record. Just your first and last name. Any one can see what you’ve done through out your life time.
Nothing you do is a secret my friend
You are a sad monkey. Think about this poor woman.
No it doesn’t! It means he was driving while suspended. I was there.
That dude worked on one of my family members vehicle. It took forever. We’d show up to find out the status of the car and he’d be passed out drunk one his work benches. He’s from Puerto Rico. Been here his whole life. His dad was a marine and should probably kick his ass if he’s found guilty.
Was he an shade tree unlicensed mechanic, or working for a business, where? It’d help us know what to avoid.
He doesn’t have work benches you moron, his dad wasn’t a marine. Lastly this story is fabricated as all hell.. can you really not see that or are you seriously that much of a sheep
WHY did this arrest take 8 months? WHY?
This story is profusely fabricated, if you knew the man personally, you’d be able to easily spot the plot holes in this fabricated #metoo non sense this bimbo made up.
I hope she knows, some of us are aware of what’s really going on.
