An Iowa City man was taken into custody on a warrant stemming from a bizarre sexual incident earlier this month.

According to police, 26-year-old Rishav Mazumdar of Westside Drive lured a woman to his residence around 10:30pm on the evening of July 17th under the guise of conducting a survey. The victim was directed by Mazumdar to remove her socks and shoes, then to close her eyes. That’s when he allegedly exposed his genitalia and began rubbing it on the woman’s foot.

Upon realizing what was going on, the woman told Mazumdar that she wasn’t comfortable with the situation. He reportedly responded by asking her to perform oral sex on him while still exposed. The woman repeated her discomfort with the situation and left the residence.

A warrant was issued for Mazumdar’s arrest on Thursday, and he was booked at the Johnson County Jail later that afternoon. He’s been charged with Indecent Exposure and Assault. If convicted, Mazumdar faces up to 13 months in jail.

He was ordered to not have any contact with the victim.
