An illegal Venezuelan migrant who allegedly raped his bossâs 14-year-old daughter while he was living in the familyâs basement in Colorado only spent eight days in jail, forcing Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents to hunt him down on the streets, The Post has learned.
Jesus Alberto Pereira Castillo, 20, posted his $5,000 bond on Nov. 27, just eight days after he was arrested, the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office said. ICE had filed a detainer with the sheriff’s office while he was still in custody, but that request was ignored.
The feds then had to search for him in the community and successfully collared him at a later undisclosed date, Homeland Security sources revealed. He was in ICE custody by December, according to court documents.
Castillo, who is being detained in an ICE detention center in Denver and has a deportation order from an immigration judge, will likely be flown straight back to Venezuela after the Trump administration resumed deportation flights to the country.
The one-way tickets to the South American country had been blocked for almost a year by President Nicolás Maduro’s regime.
Now, Castillo is likely to have a seat on one of those flights before his sexual assault case wraps up, according to sources.
Denver cops arrested Castillo on Nov. 19 â after he was on the run for nearly three months, according to the Jefferson County Sheriffâs Office.
Authorities were first called to the home on Aug. 29, the same night Castillo allegedly âforced himself on the 14-year-oldâ girl and sexually assaulted her for 10 minutes.
The young victim kicked Castillo repeatedly to get him off, according to court documents. When cops arrived, they found the victim “shaken up” and crying.
She was later taken to the hospital and treated for injuries she sustained from the rape.
But Castillo “left the residence before deputies arrived,â the sheriffâs office previously said.
Castillo illegally crossed the border into El Paso, Texas, in 2023, where he was swiftly released by border agents who lacked the space to hold him, Homeland Security sources said.
The Venezuelan migrant told border agents he was heading to Orlando. Castillo, however, ended up in Colorado, where he was first arrested in May for allegedly possessing tools for forgery/counterfeiting and larceny, sources previously told The Post.
He then found his way to Aurora, Colo., where he was living in his car before he began working for his alleged victim’s father, according to court documents.
He was offered to sleep on a blow-up mattress in the family’s basement for three months so he could afford his own housing and had been staying there for two weeks before the alleged rape occurred, the court documents stated.
Since December 2022, Denver has received 40,000 migrants, the most per capita across the nation.
With the arrival of newcomers came the rise of the Venezuelan prison gang Tren de Aragua in the sanctuary city and its nearby suburb of Aurora, where the gang unleashed terror, including violent takeovers of multiple apartment complexes.
During a hearing on Capitol Hill this week, Democratic Denver Mayor Mike Johnston argued that his city isn’t a sanctuary for illegal immigrants, despite local cops releasing criminal migrants into the community without notifying ICE.
Instead, he called it a “welcoming” city for all.
