The accused, a condominium custodian, lured the complainant into a secluded stairwell, brandished a knife, and pinned her down while hovering his crotch near her face.
The attack was interrupted by a resident.
At trial, the accused conceded identity and the use of a weapon but disputed that the assault was sexual in nature and that he committed forcible confinement.
The court found the accused guilty on all counts, concluding the attack was objectively sexual and that he intentionally restricted the complainant's liberty.
