DALLAS - Police believe a 34-year-old Dallas man held a 13-year-old at gunpoint and forced him to perform sex acts, according to arrest documents acquired by FOX 4.
According to the documents, on May 4, 2023, the 13-year-old male was walking under an overpass in Irving when an unknown male approached him.
The teen told officers the man offered him a ride to a Walmart to get a drink, but instead took him to an empty parking lot.
The arrest affidavit says the man then pulled out a gun and forced the victim to perform various sex acts on him.
The man then drove the teen home, and threatened him not to tell anyone what happened, according to the documents.
