A Walnut Hills man has been arrested and charged after three women, including a well-known comedian, said he struck them on the buttocks in Cincinnati last week.
Roger Styles, 24, is facing three misdemeanor charges of sexual imposition. Three complaints were filed with the Hamilton County Municipal Court regarding a man on a bike slapping women on their buttocks without consent on May 14 and 15, according to court records.
One of the women listed in complaints is Kelly Sirk, a stand-up comedian from Cincinnati who goes by Kelly Collette. She has posted on social media about her experience. The Enquirer has reached out to Collette but has not immediately heard back.
An attorney for Styles is not yet listed on the Hamilton County Court Clerk website.
A family member of Styles has paid $1,000, 10% of his total bond, according to court records. Styles is not in the Hamilton County Justice Center inmate list.
Styles has previously been convicted on two assault charges in March 2025. That same month, he was convicted on two counts of menacing by stalking. All are felony charges.
Styles approached a woman and her 2-year-old son about five times in November 2023. On one occasion, he kicked the toddler in the face, according to court documents. On another, he threw a full water bottle at the toddler. In each instance, Styles either yelled expletives at the woman and her child or threatened her.
