A chilling account of abduction, drugging, and gang sexual assault has emerged from a San Antonio hotel, leaving a community grappling with the brutal details of the alleged crime. The victim, a 28-year-old woman, endured a harrowing ordeal that culminated in her escape from a hotel room where she claims she was repeatedly violated.
Anthoney Luckey, 23, now faces charges of aggravated sexual assault, the sole individual arrested thus far in connection with the incident at the Qubed Living hotel on Rittiman Road. According to the San Antonio Police Department, the events leading to the assault began with a dispute between Luckey and the victim’s boyfriend over a purportedly failed electronic goods transaction. Luckey, seeking to “settle the score,” allegedly coerced the woman into accompanying him, threatening her boyfriend in the process.
The victim’s account, as detailed in an arrest affidavit, paints a disturbing picture. She alleges that Luckey transported her from her residence to the Qubed hotel, where she was subjected to a series of assaults. Beyond Luckey’s involvement, she told police that multiple other men entered the room and participated in the sexual assault. The woman further claims that she was forcibly injected with methamphetamine in her arm and leg, leading to an overdose. In an attempt to keep her conscious, the assailants reportedly placed her in a shower.
The woman’s narrative reveals a desperate struggle for survival. She described seizing an opportunity to escape when several of the men left the room and Luckey fell asleep. This escape triggered a significant police response, with officers, some equipped with protective gear and long guns, descending upon the hotel Tuesday evening.
During questioning, Luckey acknowledged having sexual intercourse with the victim, but he maintained that the encounter was consensual. He also admitted to witnessing the woman being drugged, a detail that corroborates a portion of the victim’s statement. However, the arrest affidavit remains conspicuously silent on the progress of the investigation regarding the other men implicated in the assault. This omission has raised concerns within the community, with many questioning the status of the search for the other alleged perpetrators.
Luckey’s bond was set at $20,000, a figure that has drawn mixed reactions. In addition to the bond, the judge imposed stringent conditions, including full house arrest with GPS monitoring, random drug and alcohol testing, and a prohibition on possessing firearms. These conditions reflect the severity of the charges and the court’s intent to closely monitor Luckey’s movements and behavior pending trial.
The incident has sparked widespread concern about the safety of women and the prevalence of sexual violence. Community members are calling for a thorough and transparent investigation, demanding that all individuals involved be held accountable. The victim’s resilience in escaping and reporting the assault has been lauded, but her experience underscores the vulnerability faced by many. The police department has not released further information about the ongoing investigation, leaving many questions unanswered. The public remains keenly interested in the steps being taken to identify and apprehend the other individuals allegedly involved in this disturbing crime.
