Boxer Victor Ortiz arrested, accused of forcible rape
Boxer Victor Ortiz has been arrested on suspicion of sexually assaulting a woman.
ABC News reports that Ortiz was booked on charges of forcible rape, forcible oral copulation, and forcible digital penetration, according to a press release issued by the Oxnard Police Department. He was released after posting a $100,000 bond.
In March, a woman told authorities she was sexually assaulted by Ortiz inside her home. The case was later presented to the Ventura County District Attorney's office and a warrant was issued for Ortiz's arrest. Reports say he turned himself in Tuesday.
His court appearance is set for October 10.
