Lavonte Stuckey
Metro Police are seeking additional victims of a local teenager who was arrested earlier this month after he allegedly sexually assaulted a woman near Tropicana Avenue and Arville Street.
Lavonte Stuckey, 19, was booked Dec. 15 into the Clark County Detention Center for sex trafficking of an adult, sexual assault with a deadly weapon, kidnapping with a deadly weapon and attempted robbery with a deadly weapon, police said.
According to Stuckey’s arrest report, he allegedly pretended to be a potential client of the victim — who told police she was a prostitute — when the pair entered his vehicle.
Stuckey then told the victim he was a pimp and that she “would now be his prostitute or he would shoot her,” police claim in the report.
He allegedly locked the car so that the victim couldn’t leave, attempted to steal all the cash she had on her person and forced her into oral and vaginal sex without her consent.
Following Stuckey’s arrest, investigators discovered that he had been taken into custody in July for a similar incident, in which he demanded oral sex from his victim while pretending to have a firearm, according to the report.
Police said that detectives were contacted Tuesday by a third victim, and they believe there may be more.
Anyone who may have been a victim of Stuckey’s or with information related to him may contact investigators at 702-828-3455, or remain anonymous by calling 702-385-5555 or visiting www.crimestoppersofnv.com.
