Steven Castillo was allegedly caught in a compromising position with a 15-year-old girl on Tuesday, August 27, 2019. According to the police, the 34-year-old driver for a paint shop was in a parked vehicle acting suspiciously. Police approached the vehicle during a routine patrol and when the police moved toward the minor, they noticed that she was not wearing any underwear. As such, Castillo was taken into custody since the police came to the conclusion that he had sexually abused the child. The child’s parents and a social worker were called in and a medical examination was conducted on her which certified that she was carnally known.
Castillo appeared in court on Thursday, August 29, 2019 to be arraigned on a count of unlawful sexual intercourse. He appeared before Senior Magistrate Aretha Ford and due to the nature of the offense, no plea was taken. Castillo was remanded to the Belize Central Prison until November 4, 2019 when he is due back in court.
