A Miami-Dade Transit supervisor is facing sexual battery and kidnapping charges after authorities say he allegedly raped an intoxicated woman from Brazil who was in town attending Ultra Music Festival.
The transit employee, Carl Lee Wilt, 41, was arrested on Sunday and remains behind bars without bond according to NBC Miami.
According to the police report, the 25-year-old Brazilian victim was heavily intoxicated at the Park West Station Saturday night and was not allowed onto the metro mover for her safety.
What a witness then described to police should be reserved for horror movies. The witness who was on the platform got the attention of officers, telling them that he saw a man pick up a woman and drag her body into a utility room and lock the door.
Officers came to investigate and had to wait for five minutes outside before it was opened by Wilt. Wilt opened the door with his zipper down and the woman unconscious on the floor according to police.
The woman couldn't remember any details of the encounter and said she did not consent to having sex with Wilt. The transit employee admitted to having sex with the woman in the utility room according to the report.
"The Miami-Dade County Department of Transportation and Public Works holds its employees to the highest standards for professional public administrators. We expect all employees to serve our residents and visitors with professionalism and respect," department of transportation director Alice Bravo said in a statement via NBC Miami. "Because this incident is currently under investigation, the Department cannot comment further and refers all questions to the Miami-Dade Police Department."
The woman was taken to a rape treatment center, while Wilt into police custody. Wilt has been relieved of his duties without pay and is being disciplined by the department in addition to whatever may happen through the legal system.
