ORLANDO, Fla. — Police arrested Jackson Robbins II, 45, in September on charges of burglary of a dwelling with assault or battery, and sexual battery.
In August, five months after the incident happened in March, investigators said the Florida Department of Law Enforcement laboratory reported that DNA found on the woman’s underwear matched Robbins.

Police said Robbins, who lives about a mile from where the woman was assaulted, was shown a photo of the woman. He denied knowing or having any sexual encounters with her. Officers said Robbins could not give a reasonable explanation as to why his DNA would be on her underwear.
On Sept. 18, a judge set Robbins’ bond at $50,000. He was released after posting $5,000 bond. The judge said Robbins was forbidden from contacting the woman involved in the case or any witnesses.
His trial is set for February.
