The two began to talk as she was having a drink at the bar, and shortly before the bar closed for the night, Gomez suggested the two step outside away from surveillance cameras because he had brought his own liquor on the premises.

Gomez was reportedly identified by Disney Security because of an incident that took place the previous evening between him and his wife.
“There was an argument and his wife was escorted back to their room,” reads the arrest affidavit. “[Gomez] matched the description and photograph provided by witnesses. Disney confirmed through surveillance video.”
When investigators caught up to Gomez, they questioned him about the alleged attack. Initially, Gomez completely denied having any contact whatsoever with the female victim, according to police records. Then he changed his story, claiming that he and the woman only engaged in consensual kissing.
He denied anything beyond that, saying he did not force himself on the woman.
Gomez has been charged with sexual battery.
