A 31-year-old man was arrested this Saturday after allegedly attacking a woman at a processing facility.

According to court documents, Abubakar Jeylani of Washington followed a woman into a restroom at the Unisea processing plant and attempted to coerce her into performing a sexual act. The alleged victim refused him and tried to exit the restroom, at which point Jeylani allegedly grabbed her. She then began yelling for help, and two women heard her call and came to the restroom.

The incident was called into the police by Unisea shift leader Christopher Oria. Oria also heard the screaming, and he confronted Jeylani about what happened. In an interview with the police, Oria said that Jeylani denied attacking the woman and that he called the woman “crazy.” In a separate interview with police, Jeylani initially said that he never entered the bathroom, but he later admitted to using it though not attacking a woman.

Jeylani has been charged with kidnapping, one of the highest-level felonies.

The length of time she was in the bathroom being prevented from exiting is what raised the charge to the kidnapping charge – restraining a person against their will and with fear of serious physical injury or sexual assault,” says Sgt. Mike Holman with the Unalaska Department of Public Safety. “She was afraid of being sexually assaulted.”

He adds that Jeylani could be charged with other crimes like attempted sexual assault down the road.

“The district attorney is reviewing the possibility of additional charges, but the kidnapping is a more serious charge than attempted sexual assault. It’s actually an unclassified felony, so that was the initial charge that was filed on him.”

Jeylani has a prior record of domestic violence, and there is currently a protective order in place against him in the state of Washington.

Jeylani is currently in police custody and his employment at Unisea has been terminated. Bail has been set at $100,000.
