A Florida man has been accused of raping a woman at Disney’s Dolphin Resort after meeting her at a bar — while on vacation with his wife.
Eyvor Gomez, 49, of Pembroke Pines, was arrested Monday and charged with felony sexual battery.
The victim, who has not been named, said he met Gomez at a bar inside the restaurant at the resort, which is owned by Marriott, and the pair had a drink together, according to the arrest affidavit seen by Click Orlando.
After the bartender announced last call, Gomez allegedly asked the woman to go outside with him, away from security cameras, claiming he had his own drink.
Gomez and the victim then went outside, huddled against a glass wall and bushes, where he allegedly made sexual advances on her.
The woman refused and tried to push him away, but Gomez allegedly pushed her against the wall, causing her to black out, investigators said, according to Click Orlando.
However, security cameras show the woman trying to crawl away from Gomez, who at that point was seen groping her and filming the alleged assault on his cellphone.
The woman eventually managed to escape and sat among a group of strangers inside the resort to escape him.
Eyvor Gomez, 49, of Pembroke Pines, was arrested Monday and charged with felony sex charges after he allegedly tried to rape a woman. He initially denied assault, but later admitted to investigators that he was kissing and “groping” consensually.
The alleged attack took place at the Walt Disney World Dolphin Resort on Lake Buena Vista, which is owned by Marriott. It is unclear whether guests can supply their own alcohol on the premises
Resort security was able to direct law enforcement to Gomez after they recognized him from the night before the alleged attack, when he and his wife allegedly got into an argument, according to Fox 35 Orlando.
“There was an argument and his wife was taken back to their room. Eyvor matched the description and photo provided by witnesses. Disney confirmed via surveillance video,” the affidavit read.
A Disney spokesperson told DailyMail.com that its resorts usually allow guests to bring their own alcohol.
However, the Dolphin Resort is owned by Marriot and a representative declined to comment when contacted by DailyMail.com.
When investigators questioned Gomez, he reportedly denied having any contact with the victim, before claiming they had a consensual kiss and “made out.” He denied assaulting her, Click Orlando said.
He was charged with sexual assault and booked into the Orange County Jail. DailyMail.com requested the arrest affidavit from the Orange County Sheriff’s Office.
