Enoch Jeremy Spina was booked Sunday into the Clark County Detention Center in Las Vegas. He is scheduled for a court date Tuesday on one count of sexual assault, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Police said a juvenile female in late May 1995 reported being sexually assaulted at Harrah\u2019s Laughlin Hotel and Casino. Laughlin is about an hour and a half south of Las Vegas on the Arizona border.<\/p>\n

\n

At the time, the female juvenile reported drinking at a high school graduation party in a room at the resort, police said. She passed out in the room. She later was moved to a different room where Spina was staying at the resort, the newspaper reported.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Hours later she awoke and determined, based on evidence in the room, that she had been sexually assaulted.<\/p>\n

Facebook Friend Request<\/h2>\n

According to a DNA analysis in 1995, Spina could not eliminated. However he was not arrested, the Review-Journal<\/em> reported.<\/p>\n

Another analysis in 2019 indicated the DNA from the incident was a match to Spina\u2019s, according to the newspaper. A cold case detective with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department got in touch with the woman who had been assaulted in 1995 to see if she wanted to pursue a case against this suspect. She said she wanted him prosecuted, according to the newspaper.<\/p>\n

During the investigation, police learned Spina had sent the woman a Facebook friend request on Christmas Day in 2010. The woman\u2019s mother sent a response, police said.<\/p>\n

\n

Why would you contact my daughter after what you did to her?\u201d the mother asked.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

According to authorities, Spina replied, \u201cFirst of all I don\u2019t know her side, obviously, and second, I just wanted to apologize for what she felt was wrong that happened. I\u2019m sure we both made mistakes that night and I honestly wanted to offer my sincirest (sic) apologies to her and hope that she can possibly forgive me one day as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

Laughlin Murder<\/h2>\n

Laughlin recently was in the news when the US Supreme Court reinstated the death penalty<\/a> for an Arizona man found guilty of murdering a friend over a gambling debt. The 1994 incident began when the now-convicted killer traveled to Laughlin to gamble with his girlfriend and another man.<\/p>\n

In another killing over a gambling debt<\/a>, a 70-year-old man was sentenced in Wisconsin to life in prison this month for stabbing an 88-year-old man to death over a $100 gambling debt.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
