CLAY COUNTY, Fla. – A man who is suspected in connection with a 2019 sexual assault in Georgia was arrested in Clay County on Wednesday, Clay County Sheriff Michelle Cook said.
Cook added that Kasey Levi Lyons Dyak is also a person of interest in a recently reported sexual battery in Orange Park.
Dyak is charged with first-degree burglary, false imprisonment, rape and aggravated sodomy in connection with a reported sexual assault that happened in Chatham County four years ago.
During a hearing in Clay County court on Thursday, Dyak, of Green Cove Springs, waived extradition and agreed to be sent back to Georgia to face the charges.
Cook said during a Facebook Live broadcast that she couldn’t go into details about why he’s a person of interest in the Orange Park case.
“I just wanted to update the community because I know that was a pretty significant event for us,” Cook said.
The Clay County Sheriff’s Office released a sketch in March hoping it would lead to more information in the Orange Park rape case.
The attack happened on a Monday morning near Blairmore and Blanding Boulevard. Deputies said the man entered the victim’s home, forcibly assaulted her, then ran away.
