A woman was allegedly kidnapped from Oklahoma's Newcastle Casino and sexually assaulted in November, with new details emerging about the incident.

The suspect, Kevin Alando Martin, reportedly trapped the victim in his vehicle on November 25 after she voluntarily entered it. According to the Oklahoma County District Attorney's Office, Martin then stole her purse, took a knife from it, and demanded she work for him as a prostitute.

Martin allegedly drove the victim to Oklahoma City where he forced her to perform a sex act. He then ordered her to retrieve money from her residence. While there, the victim alerted a friend about her situation, who contacted the police.

Law enforcement located the victim at NW 22nd Street and North May Avenue in Oklahoma City, where she identified Martin in a nearby car. He was subsequently arrested and charged with kidnapping, human trafficking, and forcible sodomy.

Newcastle Casino responded to the incident, emphasizing their commitment to patron and employee safety. Casino spokeswoman Kym Koch Thompson confirmed they are cooperating with law enforcement in the investigation.

Court records reveal Martin had a previous felony arrest for domestic abuse by strangulation and a pending human trafficking case from April involving a teenage victim.

The incident occurred approximately 24 miles from where Martin was ultimately arrested.
