A Coralville man was been arrested after it was determined he forced a victim to have sex with him.

According to the police report, 19-year-old Miguel Castro of Coral Ridge Avenue committed a sex act by using force against the will of the victim.  DNA was seized from Castro after the October 18th incident pursuant to a search warrant, and analysis determined his DNA on the victim was a match and consistent with the victim’s statement about the act.

A warrant was issued February 24th; Castro had his initial court appearance Monday and bond was set at $10,000. A no-contact order was issued between Castro and the victim by Judge Brandon Schrock.

If convicted on the charge, he could be sentenced to up to ten years in prison.
