Warren man charged with indecent assault

A Warren man is charged with indecent assault after he and a 15-year-old girl were allegedly found unconscious in a vehicle.

Mitchell A. Bryant, 23, of Warren, is charged with involuntary deviate sexual intercourse — person less than 16 years of age; statutory sexual assault; sexual assault; aggravated indecent assault — without consent; aggravated indecent assault — complainant less than 16 years old; indecent assault — without consent; and indecent assault — person less than 16 years of age.

According to City of Warren Police, Bryant and a 15-year-old female were found unconscious in a vehicle at a fuel station in the city in December.

As she was removed from the vehicle to be transported to Warren General Hospital for treatment, the girl was found to have no clothes on from the waist down, according to the affidavit of probable cause.

Responders reportedly administered Narcan to Bryant.

The alleged victim told police she remembered paying Bryant for a ride to a friend’s house.

She said they both used what she believed to be cocaine in the vehicle, according to the affidavit, and didn’t remember anything, including undressing, after the vehicle turning onto Pennsylvania Avenue, according to the affidavit.

A sexual assault kit was taken and eventually brought back a DNA match for Bryant, according to the affidavit. The alleged victim told police she did not consent to having sex with the defendant.

Bryant was arraigned Thursday before District Judge Laura Bauer and taken to Warren County jail after failing to post $30,000 bail.

A preliminary hearing is set for 11 a.m. Wednesday, April 12.

Starting at $3.50/week.
