A Venezuelan migrant who “forced himself” on his boss’ 14-year-old daughter is finally in custody on rape charges after a nearly three-month search.

Jesus Alberto Pereira Castillo, 20, had been staying in the basement of his boss’ Jefferson County home in Colorado when he raped the girl in August, and then took off after the father called authorities — escaping before responding deputies could arrive.

“After many weeks of relentless investigative work, [Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office] investigators were able to locate Castillo in Denver, CO., and placed him in custody without incident. He is being held in the Jefferson County Detention Facility and will have his first court appearance on November 20, 2024,” the sheriff’s department posted on X.

Castillo crossed the border illegally into El Paso, Texas, in September 2023 and was released by Border Patrol agents because there was no room to detain him any longer, Homeland Security sources told the New York Post.

The New York Post has the full story:

A Venezuelan migrant who crossed illegally into the US has been accused of raping his boss’s 14-year-old daughter while he was living in the family’s basement in Colorado, Homeland Security sources told The Post.

Jesus Alberto Pereira Castillo, 20, was arrested in Denver Tuesday — after nearly three months on the run following the alleged sex assault, according to the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office.

Police were originally called to the home, where Castillo was living temporarily, on Aug. 29, when they learned that Castillo allegedly “forced himself on the 14-year-old” girl and sexually assaulted her that night. However, he was already gone by the time cops responded.

“He left the residence before deputies arrived,” the sheriff’s office said.

Detectives finally tracked him down to Denver — which borders Jefferson County to the east — and arrested him this week.

Castillo crossed the border illegally into El Paso, Texas, in September 2023 and was released by Border Patrol agents because there was no room to detain him any longer, Homeland Security sources said.

The Venezuelan migrant said he was bound for Orlando, but ended up in Colorado where he was arrested in May for allegedly possessing tools for forgery/counterfeiting and larceny, sources said.

Following the sexual assault, ICE lodged a detainer for Castillo’s arrest, per sources. He is currently in the custody of the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office.

Denver has received 40,000 migrants since December 2022, the largest number of new arrivals per capita across the nation.

As a result, migrant crime tied to the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua has inflicted the sanctuary city and its nearby suburb of Aurora, where the gang has taken over apartment complexes and engaged in vicious crimes.
