Craigslist ad leads to sexual assault

AUSTIN (KXAN) - A woman posted an ad on Craigslist offering "Sensual Rubdowns," but was assaulted by her client in a hotel room.

Surveillance video from the hotel showed the suspect, identified as Jason Wayne Sutton, checking in under the alias "Murry E. Moore." Police have issued a warrant for Sutton's arrest.

The victim told police she was scheduled to meet a client at Austin Airport Marriott South hotel on May 27. According to reports, Sutton arrived at the hotel, flashed a badge, told her she was under arrest and cuffed her with Flex Cuffs.

After he made a cell phone call to a person he said was his partner, he told her he was going to let her go because he did not have enough evidence to book her, police said.

Before she could leave the room, the victim said, Sutton told her he was going to "show her what happens to girls like her." At that point, the victim reported, Sutton sexually assaulted her.

After assault, Sutton let her go, according to police reports. She returned later to let the hotel manager know about the assault. The manager called the police.

That was a brave move, according to rape councilors at SafePlace.

"I think it's really important that we remember that no one asks to be raped," said Narissa Adams, with SafePlace "Rape is about power and control and someone exerting that power and control through a sex act. It's not about a massage or exotic dancing, it's about rape. "

With the help of the Texas Lone Star Fugitive Taskforce, police were able to arrest Sutton in Burnet County late Tuesday afternoon.
