Jul. 9—A 22-year-old man was arraigned Thursday in the Clark County Municipal Court on an alleged sex charge.

Alan Martinez plead not guilty to gross sexual imposition, according to court records. He was given a $15,000 and remains in the Clark County Jail. He was also given a $2,500 bond for a separate charge of sexual imposition, records show.

Officers were dispatched Monday to Motel 6, 11 W. Leffel Lane, for a sex offense complaint, according to an affidavit filed in the case.

A woman told police she saw a group of men outside the motel and asked for a power plug to charge her cellphone.

"She asked a male for a power block and he wanted her to follow him to his room," the affidavit stated.

Once they got the charger, the victim started walking toward her room when the man followed her. She said when she opened her door, the man "started to rub her over her shorts" and she told him no.

"He then placed his foot against the door so she could not shut her door. He then started rubbing her several times and she pushed him out of the door," the affidavit stated.

Police found Martinez hiding in a company vehicle, and he was arrested.
