LAKE GROVE, N.Y. (1010 WINS) — A Long Island mall security guard forced a woman suspected of shoplifting to "perform a sex act" in exchange for being allowed to leave, police said Thursday.
Jose Irizarry, 33, approached the 24-year-old woman at the Lake Grove Mall in Lake Grove on Aug. 29, 2022.
"Under the guise of escorting her out of the mall," police said Irizarry led the woman into an employees-only corridor and then into a storage room, where she was forced to perform the sex act.
Irizarry was arrested Thursday afternoon and charged with first-degree criminal sex act.
He was held by police and was scheduled to be arraigned Friday.
