Savannah man indicted on rape, aggravated sexual battery, battery charges

SAVANNAH, Ga. (WTOC) - Jonathan Christopher Dellorco, 36, was indicted this week on rape, aggravated sexual battery, two counts of aggravated assault, false imprisonment, criminal damage to property in the second degree and battery.

Dellorco was arrested by Chatham County Police in July 2025. He bonded out about a month after he was booked, and his case has been pending an indictment ever since.

Dellorco also has a flag on his jail booking report for contempt of DUI Court.

What the indictment alleges

The indictment alleges Dellorco caused visible bodily harm to a woman by scratching and bruising her neck, arms, legs and back, by punching, slapping and pushing her.

He allegedly strangled her on two separate occasions.

The indictment alleges Dellorco confined the woman and would not let her leave. He also allegedly smashed the woman’s phone on the ground and broke it in half with his hands, causing damage of more than $500.

The rape and aggravated sexual battery charges stem from allegations of sexual relations against the woman’s will.

His case will continue now in Superior Court.
