Miami, FL - A South Florida man was arrested for sexually assaulting an underage female food delivery driver.

According to police, 26-year-old Omar Marawan was charged with sexual battery on a teenager and kidnapping following the assault that took place on a Gopuff delivery driver around 1:30 a.m. on Friday on the 300 block of S. Biscayne Boulevard.

Police say Marawan answered the door and inquired about the victim's age, to which she falsely stated she was 20 years old when she was actually 16.

Marawan proceeded to ask the victim if she was single and requested her phone number, then requested a hug, before forcefully pulling the victim into his apartment.

Inside, Marawan allegedly sexually assaulted the young girl and warned her against speaking to anyone about the assault, threatening her life if she did.

After the assault, the victim returned to her vehicle where her mother was waiting and immediately told her what happened.

The mother immediately reported the incident to authorities.

During an investigation, Marawan admitted to questioning the victim about her age and relationship status before the hug, but denied forcing himself on her.

Marawan is being held without bond for the kidnapping offense.

Authorities are continuing their investigation into Friday's assault.
