Previously Deported Illegal Immigrant Charged With Sexually Assaulting 14-Year-Old Girl

 A previously deported illegal immigrant has been charged in Florida with sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl.

Kevin Mauricio Escobar Munoz, 20, was arrested on Wednesday by the Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office for sexual assault and burglary with battery. According to police, Escobar Munoz broke into the 14-year-old victim’s home and then sexually assaulted her.

Escobar Munoz is an illegal immigrant from Honduras and was previously deported in September 2022. He is currently in Okaloosa County Jail with an Immigration and Customs Enforcement detainer placed on him.

The girl was attacked back in April and investigators said they just matched DNA to Escobar Munoz.

“The victim told investigators that she awoke in her home located in Fort Walton Beach shortly before 7:00 a.m. on April 21st to a Hispanic male she did not know sexually assaulting her,” the sheriff’s office said in a news release. “She reported that he covered her mouth with his hand and spoke Spanish.”

Law enforcement said that the girl said she believed the attacker left her home by going out the back door.

“A medical examination of the victim showed a positive finding for sexual abuse. On July 11th, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement reported the male DNA profile which matched the contributing male sample from the victim’s sexual assault kit belonged to Escobar Munoz,” the sheriff’s office said.

According to investigators, Escobar Munoz was living within one mile of where the victim lived.

In a press conference, Okaloosa County Sheriff Eric Aden said that the southern border needed to be secured and that illegal immigration needs to end.

“I can tell you from a sheriff’s standpoint or local law enforcement, I’m tired of it,” he said, according to WEAR News. “There’s a process and I understand it’s arduous, but many people do it the right way. But coming across our borders and being able to have the benefit of citizens that local citizens don’t even have, it has to stop.”

 

Aden cited another case from the county where 24-year-old Jose Chan, an illegal immigrant from Guatemala, was arrested over the assault of another 14-year-old girl.

“These are two 14-year-old young girls and young girls have been prayed upon by illegal aliens,” he said. “Ask yourself at what point does it stop?”

A record number of illegal immigrants have surged across the border under President Joe Biden, prompting calls for him to shut down the border.
