Overview
- Law enforcement arrested 27-year-old Leoji Allen on a second-degree felony charge of aggravated battery on a pregnant person after deputies say a May 2026 Skyliner ride turned physical and they photographed a visible bruise on the woman’s face.
- The arrest report records the woman’s account that Allen grabbed her by the chest and punched her multiple times while the two were alone inside an enclosed gondola cabin.
- Deputies located and interviewed Allen at Disney Springs, during which his account shifted and he was briefly taken to a hospital for medical clearance before booking.
- On July 14, 2026, the State Attorney’s Office formally declined to file charges, saying testimonial evidence was not corroborated by physical or other independent evidence and was therefore insufficient to obtain a conviction.
- The case highlights a common prosecutorial challenge: fights in private, camera-free spaces leave no eyewitness or footage, and a victim’s refusal to give a sworn statement can make proving guilt beyond a reasonable doubt unlikely.
