A Venezuelan migrant, Jesus Alberto Pereira Castillo, has been accused of sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl in Colorado while living in the basement of his employer's home. Castillo had entered the U.S. illegally in September 2023 and was released by Border Patrol in El Paso, Texas before being taken into custody in Denver.
The incident took place on August 29, 2024, at a residence in south Jefferson County. Castillo, who was temporarily staying in the homeowner's basement, allegedly assaulted the teenager around 10:30 p.m. before leaving the scene.
