Sexual solicitation denied

28043647

A Point Breeze man entered the women’s bathroom inside a local hotel and offered to pay for oral sex, but when she refused, he robbed her.

Lorenzo Moore, 23, of the 1900 block of Sigel Street, walked into a restroom for the opposite sex at Skyview Plaza Hotel, 2015 Penrose Ave., and offered a 24-year-old woman $20 for oral sex at 3:44 a.m. Sunday, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said.

After she said, “no,” Moore is believed to have grabbed her, ripped her clothes and took her money and cell phone from her pants pocket, Tolliver said. The woman immediately snatched the phone back. Moore supposedly smacked her in the face and fled with $40.

Police later located Moore on the 1900 block of Johnston Street, Tolliver said. He was arrested and charged with theft, robbery, criminal solicitation, indecent assault and related offenses.
