MARION COUNTY, Fla. – A man who was supposed to be giving a woman a ride to a family member’s home instead drugged her, raped her alongside an accomplice, punched her, burned her hair with a cigarette and held a pair of scissors to her throat, according to the Marion County Sheriff’s Office.
Deputies said that in January, the victim wanted to move from Orange County to her aunt’s house in Marion County so her aunt sent her the Facebook page for a man she knew, 28‐year‐old Efthimios Michael Zachary Mikedis, who could drive her.
The victim contacted Mikedis, who she knew as “Zak,” and he agreed to pick her up from the Orlando area. Mikedis arrived in a van his mother was driving with Robert McDaniel was also in the vehicle, records show.
