The woman and her friend later reported he betrayed her when he stole nude photos from her phone and engaged in sextortion, records show.
“Home girl naked pictures already going around in prison you next,” Coulanges wrote in a text message to the woman’s friend, according to a deputy’s arrest report.
State and county records show Coulanges, 28, likely didn’t deserve the woman’s trust.
According to the Florida Department of Corrections, he was arrested for drug and weapons charges when he was 18 and he was convicted when he was 22.
A Miami-Dade County Circuit judge sentenced him to four years and nine months in prison, and state correctional officers didn’t release him until he was 24.
Miami-Dade County Sheriff’s Office deputies talked to the two victims before arresting Coulanges shortly after 6 p.m., on Monday, in West Little River, records show.
County correctional deputies booked Coulanges at about 10:45 p.m., on Monday at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center. He appeared in court on Tuesday.
Miami-Dade prosecutors filed two cases with seven charges, including four felonies. One case was for stalking and a threatening phone call, both misdemeanors.
The other case was also for stalking and four felonies: Threats or extortion, written threats to cause bodily harm, use of a communication device during a felony, and theft or unauthorized promotion of a sexually explicit image.
Records show Coulanges’s bond was $6,000. Miami-Dade County Circuit Judges Betsy Alvarez-Zane and Ariel Rodriguez were set to preside over the cases.
