A woman was allegedly kidnapped from Oklahoma's Newcastle Casino and sexually assaulted in November 2023, with new details emerging about the incident.

The suspect, Kevin Alando Martin, allegedly trapped the victim in his vehicle after she entered it on November 25. According to the Oklahoma County District Attorney's Office, Martin stole her purse, took a knife from it, and demanded she work for him as a prostitute.

After allegedly forcing her to perform a sex act in Oklahoma City, Martin ordered the victim to retrieve money from her residence. While there, she managed to alert a friend about her situation, who then contacted the police.

Law enforcement located the victim at NW 22nd Street and North May Avenue in Oklahoma City, where she identified Martin in a nearby car. He was subsequently arrested and charged with kidnapping, human trafficking, and forcible sodomy.

Newcastle Casino, located 24 miles from the arrest site, released a statement emphasizing their commitment to patron and employee safety. Casino spokeswoman Kym Koch Thompson confirmed they are cooperating with law enforcement in the investigation.

Court records reveal Martin had a prior felony arrest for domestic abuse by strangulation and a pending human trafficking case from April involving a teenage victim.

The casino maintains trained security staff who can escort patrons to their vehicles and respond to uncomfortable situations, demonstrating their priority on visitor safety.
