A Detroit man who pleaded no contest to an attempted sexual assault of a woman in the Greektown Casino parking garage was sentenced to probation.

Cortez Bender, 21, was charged with assault with intent to commit criminal sexual conduct for the incident in October 2017.

Around 10:10 p.m., it's alleged that Bender followed a 29-year-old woman from inside the casino to the parking garage and tried to sexually assault her.

The woman hit Bender and struggled with him, screaming, until he fled on foot.

Bender was arrested two days later on Oct. 14.
