Three Honduran illegal immigrants charged with sex crimes against a child
"[The men] were arrested for numerous counts of Lewd Lascivious Behavior (Capital Sexual Battery) on a minor under 12 years of age," the sheriff's office wrote. "It is believed this despicable behavior took place between August 2024 to the present."
Three illegal immigrants from Honduras were arrested in Florida on Friday and charged with multiple counts of sexual assault of a minor under 12 years of age, the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office announced Tuesday.
The three immigrants allegedly illegally entered the country during the Biden-Harris administration, with two of the men entering the country through the Southern border in 2021, and the third in 2023. The three men have been identified as Selvin Lopez Lopez, Erick Lopez Lopez, and Jesersson Lopez Lopez.
"[The men] were arrested for numerous counts of Lewd Lascivious Behavior (Capital Sexual Battery) on a minor under 12 years of age," the sheriff's office wrote in a Facebook post. "It is believed this despicable behavior took place between August 2024 to the present."
The actual age of the minor was not released.
An investigation into the men discovered that Selvin and Erick Lopez Lopez turned themselves into border patrol in 2021, but were told to call a number for a court date and never followed up. Jesersson entered the country later and was given a 2028 court date. All three are being held without bail at the Palm Beach County jail.
The arrests come just weeks before the November presidential election, where illegal immigration is considered one of the top concerns. It also comes after four illegal immigrants were arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers and charged with various sex crimes in Nantucket, Massachusetts last month, according to the Daily Wire.
Georgia nursing student Laken Riley, 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray, and Maryland mother Rachel Morin were all allegedly killed by illegal immigrants this year.
