Pembroke Pines police officers arrested a Broward County Public Schools employee on Friday at a high school for the sexual battery of a minor in Miami-Dade County, police said.

According to the Miami Police Department, a victim reported two men gave him alcohol and forced him to perform a sex act with them when he was a 17-year-old boy in August at an apartment in the area of North Bayshore Drive and 17 Street.

Detectives identified one of the two men as Joseph Justice Livan, a security monitor at West Broward High School, and the victim, who is not related to the school where Livan works, recognized him, police said.

The victim told a detective that after the sexual assault Livan, 27, and the man gave him a ride home and told him that they would kill him if he told anyone what happened, police said.

Police officers responded to the high school, at 500 NW 209 Ave., on Friday, in Pembroke Pines, arrested Livan, and took him to the Broward County Main Jail in Fort Lauderdale, police said.

According to the Broward County Sheriff’s Office inmate records, Livan had a hold on a warrant for his arrest, and he was awaiting extradition to Miami-Dade County to face charges.
