A former city man accused of sexual abuse of two teens who appeared in Monroe County Court Wednesday was taken into custody after new charges out of Kentucky, similar in nature, came to light.
Roy Battle, 26, of Studio City, California, was charged with 10 counts of first-degree sex abuse, a felony, and was held without bail when Judge Christopher Ciaccio learned of the Kentucky warrant for Battle’s arrest, as well as the indictment against Battle.
Because the indictment is sealed, no one knows yet what the exact charge is, but it could drastically change the complexity of the case, said Brian DeCarolis, Battle’s lawyer.
Battle is accused of having inappropriate sexual contact with two male teens at his former Glendale Park apartment starting in February 2009, said Kyle Rossi, Monroe County Assistant District Attorney. The teens had met Battle through a church where he volunteered, he said.
