Tennis is charged with the following misdemeanors:
Terre Haute Police Department officers were dispatched to Fourth Street and College Avenue Dec. 13 on a report of an "out of control" naked man who had broken into the property located on the southwest side of the city. According to court documents, Tennis allegedly broke into two separate units in the building, without wearing any clothing. One resident said he strangled her upon entering. Other women victims alleged he forced himself on them sexually and detailed the abuse incidents.
One victim alleged Tennis threatened to kill her if she didn't perform oral sex on him. He also allegedly threatened another victim while trying to remove her clothing, verbally threatening her, "I'm going to F --- you."
Two victims alleged Tennis attempted to force his penis in their mouths. One victim specified that the suspect "grabbed her head, pulling it to his exposed penis,"according to the documents. Several of the victims alleged he forced them to submit to touching of a sexual nature with other victims and also to touch him. One victim claimed she was approached by the naked suspect and he was "grabbing her breast and attempting to lift her shirt." He was allegedly saying he was going to ejaculate in her mouth. Sgt. Denzil Lewis explained today that responding officers quickly located Tennis and placed him into custody, adding that several victims had alleged they'd been attacked by the suspect at the scene. Tennis was initially transported to a nearby hospital for evaluation pending further action by the Vigo County Prosecutor's Office before his incarceration yesterday. Comments are closed.
