“Rebel” remanded for depraved act on 3-year-old baby boy

Headline“Rebel” remanded for depraved act on 3-year-old baby boy

BELIZE CITY, Mon. Feb. 4, 2019– The depraved details of a case in which a 50-year-old was caught allegedly having a boy 3 years and 10 months old perform oral sex on him, unfolded today when the accused, Alfonso Perez, aka “Rebel”, an electrician of a Handyside Street address, went before Magistrate Emerson Banner.

Perez was charged with rape of a child. Magistrate Banner explained to him that he would not take a plea because the offence is indictable. He also explained to Perez that he could not offer him bail because the child is under the age of 16.

He then remanded Perez into custody until April 4.

On January 31, the child was taken by his mother to the police station, where the mother reported that at around 8 p.m. on January 30, her 9-year-old daughter told her that when she went outside to get some clothes from off the clothesline, she saw her baby brother kneeling in front of Perez.

The 9-year-old said Perez had her brother held by his head, with his head pointed towards his private part, and he was moving her brother’s head back and forth.

She said that when Perez saw her, he stopped what he was doing and left.

Perez was later apprehended by the police.
