Virginia Adult Store Employee Bitten on the Butt, Sexually Assaulted

A man bit an employee of an adult store in Virginia on the butt and sexually assaulted her, Prince William County police said.

The victim, who asked to remain anonymous, said she was alone in Le Tache Couples Boutique in Manassas about 8:45 p.m. April 16 when a man entered and asked about items for his wife.

He then went behind the counter and bit her butt, the victim said.

She pushed him out from behind the counter and he paced around and touched her inappropriately, police said. At some point he went back behind the counter. 

The victim said he tried to push her down and take off her dress.

She fought him off and he left the store.

Security video of the attack helped police identify a suspect, 25-year-old Benjamin Alex Dinarte. Police arrested him at his Manassas home Tuesday.
