Magistrate offered bail of $5,000 and two sureties of $2,500 each

Today, Clinton Roca, 28, a dispatcher of Willow’s Bank Village, was charged with three counts of an unnatural crime when he appeared before Magistrate Dale Cayetano.

Roca is accused of engaging in the lewd acts with a male minor, 14, on three separate occasions while the minor was staying at his house.

According to the report, the minor told police that Roca, one day in January 2012, started to touch his penis from outside his pants. The child said that he went outside and Roca followed him, where he continued to touch him and eventually pushed him to the ground and had anal sex with him.

After doing so, Roca, according to the child, told him that if he told anyone about what had happened, he, Roca, would kill his family.

Twice again in February, Roca raped the minor. The incident was not reported to police until this month and after investigating the matter, police arrested and charged Roca with the crime.

In court today, Roca was represented by attorney Lionel Welch, but since the matter is an indictable one, no pleas were taken from Roca. Noel Muschamp, the prosecutor, objected to bail based on the serious nature of the offense, the best interest of the child to not have Roca out, and that he may interfere with the minor.

But Magistrate Cayetano still offered bail to Roca of $5,000 and two sureties of $2,500 each. Roca is scheduled to be back in court on March 26, 2013.
