LAS VEGAS, NV – A man accused of kidnapping a teenage girl under the age of 18 (legally a child) and sexually assaulting her in the face has been arrested by a man disgusted by his alleged crimes.
As 8 News Now reported, 59-year-old Yousef Azmi was scheduled to have a preliminary hearing Tuesday in Las Vegas Justice Court on charges of kidnapping, lewdness and sexual assault. But for some reason, he ventured out of the courtroom in Vegas right before the hearing began.
This was a mistake he would regret. Surveillance footage obtained by 8 News Now shows a man said to be connected to the alleged victim walking up to Azami, hitting him and knocking him to the ground.
Several people, including an officer, were seen racing towards Azami and the man seen in the video beating him.
He watches:
The man responsible for attacking Azami was later identified as Glenn Cromwell Jr. He was arrested and charged with battery.
Azami, an actor born in Afghanistan, allegedly sexually assaulted a teenage girl at his home in September 2023. As 8 News Now reported, officers responded on September 3 to the Mirage Hotel for a report of a teen who said she had gotten into Azami's car as he drove home And he raped her.
The little girl, who was 14 or 15 at the time of the alleged assault, revealed to cops that she was looking to “get something to smoke and eat” when she noticed Azmi in the marijuana dispensary parking lot.
Azami then took her to his apartment, according to police. What happened next according to the cops was nothing but pure evil.
“Azami was on the couch for some time talking on his phone, then he came to lie with her on the bed,” police said. “(The teenager) had just started to sleep when Azami was lying behind her.
She reported that she felt his pelvis “grinding” against her, and he was not wearing any clothes.
The girl begged Azmi to stop. Then I took a shower, put on a piece of Azmi’s clothes, and quickly left Azmi’s apartment. According to police documents, the teenager was in the Mirage area where she “met a man who was taking his wife” and told him that she “had been kidnapped and raped and needed the police.”
Azami is scheduled to return to court on February 20, but was released from jail on only $5,000 bail. The judge released him on his own recognizance.
Cromwell was released from custody on his own recognizance. He was scheduled to return to court on March 19.
Coincidentally, this incident occurred in the same building where a man named Debra Redden attacked Clark County Judge Mary Kay Holthus on January 3. As The Gateway Pundit reported, Rubin shot himself at her after she rejected his pleas for more surveillance.
