Key Largo Man Charged In Attempted Sexual Assault

KEY LARGO (CBSMiami) – A Key Largo man was arrested after he reportedly chased a woman around a home naked and grabbed her buttocks.

Pedro Portillo, 52, was supposed to bring the young woman a sandwich Monday afternoon. When he walked into her home, he found her in the shower.

Portillo opened the shower curtain and groped her breast and vagina despite her protests, according to the Monroe County Sheriff's Office.

The woman yanked the curtain closed but Portillo reportedly re-opened it and was standing there naked.  The sheriff's office said he then proceeded to fondle himself and told the woman "you know you want this."

When the woman ran to the living room, Portillo reportedly ran after her and forcibly kissed her.

The woman pushed him away and ran back to the bathroom in an attempt to lock herself in. He forced his way into the bathroom, according to the sheriff's office and forcibly kissing her again as he grabbed her buttocks. She again told him no and told him to leave. At that point he did leave the house.

Portillo was found at a trailer he owns in Calusa Campground in Key Largo. He was arrested and charged with attempted sexual battery.
