In Florida, Honduran national Santo Martinez Varela is accused of kidnapping and sexual assault.
A 13-year-old girl was allegedly assaulted in a Florida park this month by an illegal immigrant from Honduras who now faces criminal charges.
The teen was attacked near Okeeheelee Park on Jan. 2, WPTV reported.
A Hispanic man aged 30 to 40 who did not speak English was described as the suspect at the time.
On Jan. 11, detectives arrested Santo Martinez Varela and later confirmed his identity through a DNA search warrant, the department stated.
In 2023, Varela illegally crossed the Mexican border from Honduras without any contact with law enforcement and traveled to West Palm Beach, according to the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office.
According to online records, Varela is currently being held without bail at Palm Beach County Jail on charges of kidnapping and sexual assault. On Sunday, Varela appeared before a judge.
""Justice will be served to anyone considering committing heinous crimes in Palm Beach County," the sheriff's department stated in their social media post."
