Aronson prevented the woman from leaving the room, pointed a revolver at her head, punched her several times and forced her to perform oral sex, Smoler said.
Aronson was taken into custody around 11 p.m. March 9 and processed at the Lake County jail early March 10, records show. Aronson also is charged with felony counts of cyberstalking and electronic harassment in a separate case.Aronson is next due in court on April 20.
