Who Is Mateo Borda Boyanovich and Why Is He Arrested? Unf Mass Shooting Threat & Sexual Battery Charges
One of the sexual battery accusations against Borda, according to his counsel, arises from a woman who claimed police she was raped by Borda inside a home he shares with several males in East Arlington’s Greenfield Lakes community.
According to Borda’s counsel, the other two instances were two women who told police that Borda sexually attacked them inside the same residence on the same night in September but during a fraternity party.
Borda, who is from Lima, Peru, was detained in February on a charge of threatening to carry out a mass massacre in writing, to which he has pleaded not guilty.
He was reported to being held in the Baker County Jail on that charge due to an immigration hold, but he has now been transferred to the Duval County jail and ordered held on a $600,000 bail.
According to an attorney unaffiliated with the case, the immigration hold prevents him from bonding out of jail, leaving the country, and not returning to face the accusations in court.
If convicted of all three charges of sexual battery, the total sentence may be up to 45 years in jail. A conviction on the threat charge may result in a prison sentence of up to 15 years.
