ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. – On Aug. 28, an Orange County grand jury formally indicted Jerry Dorisme, 28, for First Degree Murder (with a Weapon), Kidnapping with Intent to Inflict Bodily Harm or Terrorize (with a Weapon), Sexual Battery (with a Deadly Weapon or Physical Force) and Attempted Sexual Battery (with a Deadly Weapon or Physical Force).

On July 4, the Orange County Sheriff’s Office responded to a man-down call at an apartment complex. After arriving on scene, deputies found a juvenile female victim who had been stabbed. Medical personnel transported her to a local hospital where they pronounced her dead.

Through investigative means, OCSO deputies developed Dorisme as a suspect. Detectives located him and arrested him one week later.

The State presented sufficient evidence to a grand jury to secure an indictment against Dorisme for First Degree Murder (with a Weapon), Kidnapping with Intent to Inflict Bodily Harm or Terrorize (with a Weapon), Sexual Battery (with a Deadly Weapon or Physical Force) and Attempted Sexual Battery (with a Deadly Weapon or Physical Force).
