Police were originally called to the home, where Castillo was living temporarily, on Aug. 29, when they learned that Castillo allegedly “forced himself on the 14-year-old” girl and sexually assaulted her that night. However, he was already gone by the time cops responded.

Reportedly, the illegal alien said that he was headed for Orlando, Florida after he crossed the border unlawfully in El Paso, Texas in September 2023. Per usual, he was released by Border Patrol into the states.
Castillo ended up in Colorado where he was arrested in May for allegedly possessing tools for forgery/counterfeiting and larceny, sources told the Post.
Then, following the sexual assault, ICE lodged a detainer for Castillo’s arrest. Now, he is in the custody of the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office.
Tens of thousands of illegals have gone to Denver in recent years, including members of the violent Venezuelan prison gang Tren de Aragua. Reportedly, Castillo does not have ties to the gang.
