On Dec. 28, he was released on bail under strict conditions to not contact the victim.
As the investigation continued, investigators say they learned that he had once again contacted the victim. On Jan. 8, officers located the alleged victim at the suspect’s residence.
He was subsequently arrested and charged with the following:
