WAKULLA COUNTY, Fla. (WTXL) - A registered sex offender from Leon County has been arrested, accused of kidnapping and sexually assaulting a victim at knifepoint.
The Wakulla County Sheriff's Office has arrested Kevin Greene, who's a registered sex offender in Leon County.
Deputies say they got a report on July 2 from a victim who reported being raped by an unidentified man. The victim said the man drove her to an isolated area in Wakulla County, parked the car, and sexually assaulted the victim while armed with a knife.
After the assault, the suspect demanded cash and her cell phone. The victim said the suspect also warned that if she contacted law enforcement, he would harm her and her children.
After the suspect left, the victim called WCSO.
WCSO says detectives on the case arranged for an examination of the victim, obtained store video surveillance footage, cell phone records, statements and sent evidence to the FDLE Crime Laboratory for analysis.
During the investigation, deputies were alerted about a hit on the sexual assault kit submitted to the lab that matched Greene's DNA.
Based on the evidence, WCSO coordinated with the Leon County Sheriff’s Office and the Deputy Marshals with the United States Marshals Service (USMS) to find Greene.
Marshals eventually found Green in South Florida and took him to the Leon County Detention Center for violation of registered sex offender registration requirements.
In June, detectives obtained an arrest warrant charging Greene with sexual battery, kidnapping, and robbery. Since he was in jail in Leon County, a hold was been placed on him to face the charges in Wakulla County.
