Man arrested for sexual assault

A 20-year-old Stock Island man was arrested Wednesday for sexually assaulting a 15-year-old girl.

Josue Armando Forno was charged with sexual assault.

Last Thursday, Sheriff’s Office Major Crimes Unit detectives charged Yobani Carlos Valle, 24, of Rockland Key, with sexual assault of a 16-year-old girl.

The case began on April 17 when Key West Police notified the Sheriff’s Office about the incident as the events occurred outside of Key West.

In Sum: A 15-year-old girl and a 16-year-old girl — both victims in the case — told Major Crimes Unit Detective Rosa DiGiovanni that they made plans to go swimming with Forno and Valle on Sugarloaf Key on April 13, 2019. Valle bought beer for the underage girls. Forno picked up the girls and they all went to the Jumping Bridge on Sugarloaf Key. At some point thereafter, the four went to a hotel, which one of the girls identified as Ocean’s Edge Key West Resort & Marina on Stock Island, whereupon Forno had sex with one girl and Valle had sex with the other.

Warrants were issued for both Forno and Valle. Valled was arrested and booked into jail last week. Forno was booked into jail on Wednesday.

Valle was booked into jail on a $260,000 bail and Forno was booked on a $250,000 bail.
