Cuban National Detained in Miami-Dade for Serious Offenses

A 48-year-old Cuban man has been taken into custody, facing charges related to an attempted rape that occurred in March in Opa-locka, Miami-Dade County, as reported by the Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office (MDSO) on Tuesday. The incident, which took place on March 6, involves Yosvany González, who was formally charged after allegedly assaulting a woman he previously lived with.

Details of the Assault and Attempted Sexual Assault

According to the arrest report released by the MDSO—and referenced by Local 10—investigators noted that González and the victim "lived together as a family for about a year" before he moved out, preceding the incident. The victim's account in the police report states that González burst into her room and punched her in the face. The attack left the woman with "bruises and a cut on her upper lip," as documented in the report.

The alleged assailant did not stop there, as "González then attempted to force the victim into sexual intercourse but failed." Eventually, the accused fell asleep, enabling the victim to flee the residence and contact authorities. The MDSO's Special Victims Bureau summoned González for a voluntary interview the following Monday. During this session, the officers read him his Miranda rights, after which the Cuban national "denied the allegations."

Legal Charges and Current Status

Jail records indicate that Yosvany González is currently facing two formal charges: one for sexual assault without causing serious bodily harm and another for robbery with assault or battery. He remains detained at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center (TGK) while awaiting a court hearing. His bail is listed as "to be set," which means he cannot be released on bail at this time. The authorities continue their investigation as the accused—whose immigration status has not been disclosed—remains in police custody. No additional information regarding the case has been provided as of the close of this report.
