Man arrested after alleged sexual assault at Atlanta nightclub is streamed on Facebook Live

A man has been arrested after a woman’s alleged sexual assault at the Opera nightclub in Atlanta was streamed live on Facebook.

CNN reports that police detained Dominique Williams, 34, after he turned himself in Tuesday following the issue of a warrant for his arrest.

{mosads}A police report obtained by CNN indicates that the unnamed woman could be seen during the assault on a Facebook Live video pleading for her attacker to stop.

“In the video you can clearly hear the female saying, ‘stop, please somebody help me,’ ” the report states.

Williams’s attorney released a statement proclaiming his innocence on Instagram, while calling for other bystanders or witnesses to come forward.

“These allegations are false, and the evidence will prove that our client should never have been charged,” Shequel Ross wrote in the post.

“Our client and his innocent family members have endured harassment as a result of this rush to judgement without reviewing facts,” she added.

The nightclub’s attorney told CNN that the business would “continue to provide Atlanta Police Department with any information and footage which may help the investigation.”

The unidentified victim’s attorney, L. Chris Stewart, told CNN that Williams’s decision to turn himself in was “vindication” for his client.
