Three Honduran illegal immigrants accused of abusing a 12-year-old girl
According to the investigation, two of the detainees crossed the Mexican border illegally in 2021 and both surrendered to Border Patrol but never showed up for trial. The third crossed illegally in 2023 and was given a court date for 2028.
Authorities reported that three illegal immigrants from Honduras were arrested in Florida and are being charged with multiple counts of sexual assault of a minor under the age of 12. The information was confirmed by the Palm Beach County, Florida Sheriff's Office.
"On Friday, three illegal suspects from Honduras, Selvin Lopez Lopez, Erick Lopez Lopez and Jesersson Lopez Lopez, were arrested for numerous counts of Lewd Lascivious Behavior (Capital Sexual Battery) on a minor under 12 years of age. It is believed this despicable behavior took place between August 2024 to the present," the office wrote on its X social media account.
According to the authorities' investigation, Selvin Lopez and Erick Lopez were known to have crossed the Mexican border illegally in 2021, both turned themselves in to Border Patrol and were told to call for an appointment before a judge, but never did.
"In 2023, Jesersson, crossed the border and was given a court date for 2028. Selvin, Erick and Jesersson Lopez Lopez are currently in the PBC Jail on NO BOND," the office detailed.
The incident occurs at a time when illegal immigration is taking center stage in the electoral campaign. Former President Bill Clinton recently stated that if the border had been "adequately" secured, young Laken Riley, killed by an illegal immigrant in Georgia in 2022, would still be alive.
"You got a case in Georgia not very long ago didn't you, they made an ad about it, a young woman who had been killed by an immigrant. Yeah, well if they'd all been properly vetted that probably wouldn't have happened," the former president said during an event in Georgia, making a clear reference to the work of the Biden-Harris administration and the murder of Riley.
