A Bartlesville man is accused of making unwanted sexual advances toward a woman after selling her a car. Brian Neal appeared at the Washington County Courthouse on Friday where he was charged with felony sexual battery and destroying evidence, stemming from an alleged August 5 incident.

According to an affidavit, the victim stated she purchased a car from a dealership on Highway 75 in Bartlesville. She stated Neal was her salesman and they knew each other previously. The victim claims that Neal wanted to take her to put gas in the car after the sale. After filling up the tank Neal attempted to kiss and grab the victim. He then revealed himself and forced her to make contact with him.

Neal denied all allegations when speaking to police. He claims that nothing abnormal happened and the two took a picture together when they returned to dealership. However, a time stamp proved that the picture was taken before they left. Neal also deleted text messages on his phone sent to the victim.

Bond for Neal was set at $20,000 with a condition of no contact with the alleged victim. Neal is due back in court on August 28.
