A Miami man, Sunen Isaac Gutierrez, 23, faces charges of human trafficking, sexual battery, and strongarm robbery after allegedly luring two teenage girls with promises of marijuana and alcohol before sexually battering them, as per local authorities. The incidents are reported to have taken place early Sunday morning in Little Havana, when Gutierrez encountered the 16-year-old and 17-year-old victims. NBC Miami reported that after offering to take them to his home, the distressing events unfolded there.
The two teens initially agreed to go with Gutierrez, where one of the victims negotiated a price for sexual activity that initially stood at $400, eventually decreasing to $320. According to the arrest report accessed by Local 10, during the sexual encounter, Gutierrez became aggressive, leading to one of the victims no longer wanting to proceed. However, despite her reluctance, the report alleges that he forced her to perform a sex act on him.
Following this, both victims attempted to escape the situation, which resulted in one of them being forcefully divested of her purse and cell phone when she fell. Officers later retrieved the teen's phone from Gutirez's room. Gutierrez, after his arrest, denied the allegations related to the transaction of money for sexual acts. He did, however, provide a statement that was partly redacted in the public report. His confession included driving the girls to his home but omitted confirmation of the exchange of money.
Gutierrez is currently being held at Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center, with the details of a bond pending. As the story develops, both victims have provided statements to the police detailing their ordeal. The report states that one of the victims was, without giving consent, "digitally penetrated" trying to flee from Gutierrez, as reported by NBC Miami. Additionally, Local 10 covers that the second victim explicitly asked Gutierrez to stop his advances, which he ignored, and continued his attempts at sexual penetration.
