A self-employed puppeteer was arrested Saturday after touching a woman inappropriately and threatening to rape her, Hillsborough County deputies say.

David Moss Coronel, 43, of Tampa, was charged with felony sexual battery and felony burglary of a dwelling with battery.

Coronel entered a woman's home about 6:35 a.m. Saturday, approached her in her bedroom, grabbed her right arm and forced her onto a bed, a criminal arrest affidavit states.

He removed her clothes and told her, "I'm going to rape you until you have my babies," according to the affidavit. Then he placed a hand on her face and touched her inappropriately.

Coronel, of 12913 Four Oaks Road, remains in Falkenburg Road Jail with no bail set.

The woman lives near Coronel's home, according to the affidavit.
