Man arrested for kidnapping, sexual assault of a minor
Updated on October 9, 2024, with disposition of the case.
Staff report
Travis Deshawn Lewis, 34, was arrested this morning on charges of kidnapping and sexual assault on a person between 12 and 18 years of age.
Few details are available about the case because it is still an active investigation, but a sworn complaint was filed at around 3:00 a.m. on November 14 about an incident that had just occurred at Bellamay Grand Apartments, 2625 SW 75th St., and a warrant was issued on November 24. Lewis’ address is the same as the incident location.
Court records show that the State Attorney’s Office requested $100,000 bail on each charge, for a total of $200,000, but Judge James Colaw changed it to $500,000 on each charge, for a total of $1 million.
Update: On September 6, 2022, the kidnapping charge was dropped, and Lewis was formally charged with sexual battery on a person between the ages of 12 and 18; the document alleged that Lewis “acted as a principal to help or facilitate” sexual battery by a different defendant. On August 11, 2023, a charge of aggravated assault with intent to commit a felony was added, alleging that Lewis threatened the juvenile. Lewis entered a plea of nolo contendere to aggravated assault with intent to commit a felony, and the sexual battery charge was dropped. Lewis was sentenced to one year in jail with credit for one year served, followed by 60 months of probation and a promise to testify truthfully in the other defendant’s case. Adjudication of guilt was withheld.
Finally a judge with some cojones!
Uh, duh, the same judge who let the wreck causing gun guy out on low bail. But try again, and thanks for playing.
Thanks for enlightening us. Maybe his dropped and grew a little after the public outcry over the prior incident.
In any case, the thug didn’t get his out of jail card for free.
