An illegal Venezuelan immigrant who allegedly raped his boss's 14-year-old daughter while living in the family's basement in Colorado, spent only eight days in prison, causing immigrants and customs enforcement agents to corner him on the streets.
The Jefferson County Sheriff's Office said that Jesus Alberto Pereira Castillo, 20, posted a $5,000 bond on Nov. 27, just eight days after his arrest. ICE had filed detainees with the sheriff's office while he was still in custody, but the request was ignored.
The federal government then had to search for him in the community and successfully defeat him on a later private day, Homeland Security sources revealed. He was under ice custody by December, according to court documents.
Castillo, who is detained at Denver's Ice Detention Center and has received an expulsion order from an immigrant judge, could fly straight to Venezuela after the Trump administration resumes deportation flights to the country.
One-way tickets to the South American country were blocked by President Nicolas Maduro's administration for almost a year.
Now, Castillo may have a seat on one of those flights before his sexual assault case is over, according to sources.
Denver police arrested Castillo on November 19th – after he ran for almost three months, According to the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office.
Authorities were first called to the house on August 29th. Sexual assault with a girl “forced by a 14-year-old girl” 10 minutes.

She was later taken to the hospital and treated for injuries sustained from rape.
However, Castillo “leaved the residence before deputies arrived,” the sheriff's office said earlier.
Castillo was quickly released in 2023 by border agents who illegally crossed the border in El Paso, Texas, and had no space to hold him, Homeland Security sources said.
Venezuelan immigrants told border agents he was heading to Orlando. However, Castillo ended in Colorado, where he was first arrested in May for allegedly owning tools for forgery/forgery and theft, sources previously told the Post.
He then found his way to Aurora, Colorado. According to court documents, he lived in the car before he began working for the victim's father.
He was offered to sleep for three months on a blow-up mattress in the family's basement, so he could afford his own home and stayed there for two weeks before the rape occurred, court documents said.
Since December 2022, Denver has received 40,000 immigrants. This is the most per capita immigrant in the country.
The arrival of newcomers has brought the rise of Venezuelan prison gangster Tren de Lagua in the sanctuary city and its nearby suburbs Aurora.
Democrats at this week's Capitol Hill hearing Denver Mayor Mike Johnston Despite local police officers releasing criminal immigrants to the community without notifying the ice, he argued that his city was not a sanctuary for illegal immigrants.
