In the early morning hours of Dec. 11, officers were dispatched to an apartment complex off Old Norcross Tucker Road, where they met with a 16-year-old girl who appeared to be extremely intoxicated, said Gwinnett Police Cpl.

When officers met with her, she told them that she was sexually assaulted by the driver.Police said additional charges could be forthcoming.

Police want to know if any other women have been sexually assaulted by Jagne. If so, they should call 770 513-5338.
