Former UF Resident Assistant Ian Milaski will be facing charges of attempted sexual battery, kidnapping and burglary with assault or battery in court on Oct. 10.
The 21-year-old UF economics senior will appear at 9 a.m. at the Alachua County Criminal Justice Center for his next court hearing in regards to his Aug. 28 arrest following accusations of attempting to sexually assault another student, according to court records filed Monday morning.
Milaski was not initially arrested on burglary or attempted sexual battery charges.
The motion to reduce his original bond of $125,000 was granted as a judge agreed he is a “high achieving” student, according to court records. He was released from jail Aug. 30 on his own recognizance.
Milaski is no longer a resident assistant at the university, said UF spokesperson Steve Orlando.
During the incident, a female student accused Milaski of repeatedly asking her to have sex, grabbing her and trying “to finger her,” according to a University Police arrest report. Hours later, Milaski went to her dorm and tried lying next to her again until another person stopped him.
The motion to reduce Milaski’s bond said he wished to be released due to financial troubles as well as to complete his school assignments on time and help his parents in Cape Coral, Florida, prepare for Hurricane Dorian.
The attorney also wrote that further evidence will show the incident to be a “misunderstanding among platonic friends fueled by alcohol."
Milaski’s lawyer, Ronald Kozlowski, could not immediately be reached for comment.
