Police said sometimes between April and May of this year, Lewkowicz met the victim through a mutual friend and the two exchanged phone numbers.
“The introduction was intended for the defendant to meet the victim for the purpose of future plays (a term used to describe (a) commercial sex date),” the arresting officer wrote in the arrest report.
According to the report, a short time later Lewkowicz invited the victim to his home, where she performed fellatio on him.
The victim wasn’t paid for the sexual encounter, authorities said.
Police said Lewkowicz paid for the victim to take an Uber ride to his home at a later date where they had sex, for which he paid her $150 in cash.
According to the report, Lewkowicz engaged in sexual activity with the victim on at least four occasions for which he paid her about $100 to $150 for each sexual interaction.
Police said during that time frame, Lewkowicz also brokered commercial sex dates for the victim, including one time where he set up a “play” at $150 for a half hour.
According to the report, Lewkowicz denied to detectives that he ever engaged in sexual activity with the victim or set up “dates” for her.
The victim’s age was not disclosed in the arrest report.
As of Thursday morning, Lewkowicz remained held at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center where his bond had yet to be set.
