Police: Man Beat Hotel Clerk Who Refused Sex
MIRAMAR, Fla. -- A man was arrested Tuesday morning after he allegedly attacked a woman at the hotel at which he was staying.According to Miramar police, Juan Alberto Salmeron was staying overnight at the Windgate Inn, 4600 S.W. 148th Ave., when he approached a 19-year-old hotel clerk and offered her $100 to have sex with him. She declined, but he returned later and offered her $100 if he could take naked pictures of her, police said.
When she refused again, police said, Salmeron came back a third time and said he wanted to use the computer room to access the Internet. When she opened the room for him, he hit the woman in the face, broke her jaw and knocked out her teeth, police said.
Miramar police spokesman Bill Robertson said she was so severely beaten "to the point where she's covered in blood."
"She's pleading with this guy to stop, and the only reason he stopped is she agrees to have sex with him," Robertson said.
Police said when Salmeron pulled her dress up and tried to rape her, she fought back.
"She struck the subject, knocked him away," Robertson said. "That's when she was able to get up and run throughout the hotel, floor to floor."
A hotel guest let her inside one of the rooms and called police.
Salmeron ran away afterward, but authorities found him at a nearby Chevron gas station about an hour later. Police said he had blood on his clothing.
The woman was taken to Memorial West Hospital, where she was listed in stable condition.
Police said Salmeron, 25, of Seminole, Fla., confessed to attacking the woman. He is charged with one count each of sexual battery, aggravated battery and false imprisonment. Salmeron has previously been arrested on a misdemeanor battery charge.
