After weeks of searching, Jesus Alberto Pereira Castillo was arrested on Tuesday for allegedly forcing himself on his employer’s teenage daughter.
The man had been living in the family’s basement temporarily when the incident reportedly happened.
“On August 29, 2024, at about 11:00 p.m., deputies responded to a south Jefferson County residence on a sexual assault investigation. Castillo’s employer owns the residence, and Castillo was temporarily staying in the basement of the home,” said the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office in a statement.
“At around 10:30 that evening, Castillo forced himself on the 14-year-old daughter of the homeowner, sexually assaulting her. He left the residence before deputies arrived.”

Authorities were finally able to locate the man in Denver, where he was taken into custody “without incident.”
Castillo illegally crossed the southern border into the United States in El Paso, Texas in September 2023, at which time he was released by border patrol, according to the New York Post. He was previously arrested in May for “allegedly possessing tools for forgery/counterfeiting and larceny,” reported Fox News.
ICE has placed a detainer on Castillo following the arrest for the alleged assault, and he is expected to make his first court appearance on Wednesday.

Thank you for protecting any future victims of this predator. So sorry for the child he harmed. Open borders have horrid consequences. 🙁

A 14 y/o girl is raped by a man who works for her father and lives in their basement? Wonder if the daughter paid the difference+ in money saved by the father’s cheap labor arrangement.

Father should be arrested and charged. Does not have the capacity of raising children.

The parents are very irresponsible to put a man in the house with their young daughter.
