MIAMI (CBSMiami) -- What began as a friendship on Facebook turned into a dangerous sexual encounter and an arrest, according to authorities.

Bassem Youssef Mseeha, 18, was taken into custody Tuesday following the alleged incident.

Mseeha met up with the 23-year-old woman he had been talking to on Facebook at his Miami home at 10410 S.W. 167th Street, she told police. They had been chatting for about a month.

She said they were drinking alcohol and smoking marijuana but when she refused to kiss him, Mseeha got upset, punching her in the head and face several times. He then dragged her to his bedroom by her hair, the arrest report said, fondled her breasts and forced her to perform oral sex on him.

At one point, he allegedly told her, "I swear to god, if you don't do it, I'm going to kill you right now."

The victim also told police Mseeha wouldn't let her leave until they had sex and then continued to sexually abuse her. She was left with a torn shirt, a bruised and swollen eye, as well as scratches on her breasts.

Mseeha told officers that he did spend time with the woman but was intoxicated and did not recall what had happened.

He's facing two counts of sexual battery and kidnapping charges.
