Tucson Arizona Man Booked into Jail on Sexual Battery Warrant
Leandro Gramajo, 35, was booked into the Alachua County Jail at around 4:30 a.m. today on a sexual battery warrant.
Gramajo currently has no bond because the State Attorney’s Office intends to file a motion for pretrial detention.
According to court documents, Gramajo resides in Tucson, Arizona, and his charges were pressed by the Gainesville Police Department.
Court records show the case has been pending for nearly a year. Gramajo reportedly committed the offense in June 2025. A warrant for Gramajo’s arrest was issued in February but it wasn’t served until today.
Gramajo has pled not guilty.
Update | May 1, 2026:
According to the motion for pretrial detention, "The defendant [Gramajo], witnesses and victim were all members of the National Guard. The four individuals went out for the night to say goodbye to the defendant who was relocating out of state. The victim in this case had imbibed in alcohol and was driven back to her apartment by one of the witnesses with the other witness and defendant in separate cars. The two witnesses and the defendant were all driving back to Camp Blanding. The victim got up to her apartment and immediately changed into a night shirt with no underwear and laid down to go to bed when she heard a knock at the door. The defendant stated he was calling an Uber to go back to Camp Blanding and asked to stay in the apartment to wait for the Uber. The victim indicated she was intoxicated and said he could wait in the kitchen."
Gramajo reportedly followed the victim into the bedroom and committed sexual battery against her.
The pretrial detention motion states, "One of the witnesses went upstairs to get the defendant as they felt something was not right as they were going back to Camp Blanding and went to get him. Upon knocking on the door the victim got to the door and the defendant immediately stated, 'Let's go' and his zipper was down and he was adjusting. The victim reported to several outreach witnesses as well as the officer in charge of their unit. The defendant could not be reached as he relocated out of State."
Update | May 29:
Judge Robert Groeb denied the pretrial detention motion and Gramajo was released on a $250,000 bond.
GnvInfo has since received an email from Stuart Sherman, who identified himself as Gramajo's brother.
Sherman wrote, "I understand that your work is to get information out so people can know what is happening in their community, especially with things like sexual assault in the community. Since you posted the article, Leandro had a bail hearing with the strictest judge in Gainesville who released him on bail stating, 'I don't think Mr. Gramajo is a danger to the community. This does not seem like a person that is going out committing sex crimes. This seems like a matter of miscommunication between two consenting adults.' The judge even allowed Leandro to leave the state after posting bail, showing full trust that he would return to Arizona and commute to Florida for all following legal proceedings."
Sherman continued, "Leandro has never been interviewed by police about the incident even though he was in jail for 33 days. The Army had not filed charges against him. Leandro lost his job because of the time in jail and is currently seeking employment."
Sherman then complained about the article and requested it be taken down or updated, stating, "Because this information is posted online Leandro is having trouble securing a job; he passes background checks, but your site shows up when he is Googled. Your site states, 'From general information, to exposing falsehoods and corruption, Jack seeks to deliver the truth.' The truth is innocent until proven guilty, not destruction by accusation. This is my brother's life."
Sherman characterized the article as the author's "truth." The article is based on public court records.
GnvInfo has not obtained a transcript of the pretrial detention hearing to verify Sherman's statements about Groeb's opinion in the case. If true, it's unclear why Groeb felt there was a miscommunication.
The police report indicates the victim fell asleep when she entered her bedroom, before being followed by Gramajo. The victim reportedly "awoke" to Gramajo committing the sexual battery against her and she pushed him away. Reportedly, after the victim was awake, Gramajo asked her "yes or no." Reportedly, Gramajo continued his sexual advances after the victim said "No," prompting her to roll off the bed and go to the bathroom where she locked herself in.
Sherman said his "truth" is that Gramajo is a "first responder, military member, contributing citizen, brother to me and my wife, uncle to my children, hard-worker, who cried when he saw your article about him."
