Portions of the report were blacked out, but it said the victim “stated on June 3rd, 2022, around 8 p.m., [somebody] identified to be Aquilino Perez Ambrocio [came] from work and entered [a] bedroom in which she and [somebody] were located. [The victim] stated she tried to exit the room because she knows Aquilino’s daily routine to shower after work and wanted to give him his privacy. While exiting the room, [the victim] advised Aquilino grabbed her by her right hand while she was still standing up and pushed her onto the bed and stood directly next to her.
Aquilino responded ‘as long as you don’t tell anyone you won’t get in trouble.’

“[The victim] stated Aquilino placed his left hand inside of her shirt, underneath her bra, and began to touch her left breast. [The victim] stated, ‘let me go, you know what you are doing is wrong right?’ Aquilino responded ‘as long as you don’t tell anyone you won’t get in trouble.’ [The victim] replied ‘why would I get in trouble when you’re the one doing this. let me go, let me go.’ [The victim] advised she believes Aquilino was under the influence as his breath ‘stunk like beer.’ [The victim] stated she asked Aquilino multiple times to let her go. [The victim] advised the suspect swiped his left hand across her [body part] over her clothing before letting her leave the bedroom. [The victim] stated she got up and left the room while Aquilino went to take a shower. [The victim] advised she relocated into her bedroom with [someone] to continue watching YouTube videos.
she told Aquilino multiple times not to touch her, but he ignored her request
“[The victim] advised after Aquilino finished his shower, he came into her bedroom and again began to grab her breasts. [The victim] stated she told Aquilino multiple times not to touch her, but he ignored her request and continued to touch her breast with his bare hands (skin to skin contact). [The victim] advised she kicked Aquilino to get him off of her, causing him to leave the room. [The victim] stated Aquilino came back into the room shortly after, stating, ‘what are you doing?’ [The victim] responded, ‘we are on YouTube’ and showed the suspect the YouTube video that she and [somebody] were watching. [The victim] advised Aquilino got closer to her to watch the video but then forcibly placed his hand inside of her shirt and underneath her bra to touch her bare breast. [The victim] stated she grabbed Aquilino’s hand to stop him from touching her, but Aquilino pushed her hand away and continued to grab her left breast.
‘get away from me before I tell my mom on you.’
“[The victim] repeatedly told Aquilino to stop touching her, in which he ignored as he continued to touch and group her breast. [The victim] advised Aquilino stated ‘sshhh, don’t tell anybody.’ [The victim] replied, ‘get away from me before I tell my mom on you.’ [The victim] stated Aquilino then took his hand out of her shirt and left the room after she threatened to inform [her mother] of his inappropriate behavior. [The victim] advised during the incident, she was wearing a t-shirt and a pair of jean pants. [The victim] stated she was lying directly on her back, on the edge of the bed.
“During the incident, [the victim] advised [somebody] as well as her grandmother [name] left the residence to go get food. [The victim] advised none of her siblings were aware or saw what took place with Aquilino.”

The next part, in which the girl describes “a verbal dispute” involving her grandmother isn’t clear.
But then, “[The victim] advised [somebody] took her and her siblings away from the residence and brought them to her workplace located at [address in] Riviera Beach where she informed her of the incident that occurred with Aquilino. [The victim] stated [somebody] notified police, where an investigation was initiated.
“Department of Children and Families investigator [name] responded and took custody of all [blacked out]. At the time of this report, the children are currently in foster care residing at [address]. [A Riviera Beach police officer] made contact with Aquilino on June 3 at [location] where he denied all allegations post Miranda.
Aquilino was placed under arrest for violating the order of injunction placed against him
“After giving a statement, Aquilino was placed under arrest for violating the order of injunction placed against him in 2021 for the same allegations in regards to the victim.
“[The injunction read Aquilino is to have no contact with the victim which [somebody] was aware of. When asked, [somebody] advised she let Aquilino [blacked out] two months ago because she was [blacked out] and needed Aquilino to be [blacked out]. [Somebody] was aware of previous allegations as she was the individual who reported the allegations to DCF in 2021.”
The report noted that on June 4 at 12:25 a.m., a crime scene technician went to police headquarters and got DNA samples from the victim’s left and right breast.
“Both DNA standards taken were submitted and results are currently pending,” it said.
Then, on July 12, a detective got the forensic biology report which said, “Male DNA was indicated at quantification on the swabs of left and right breast of [the victim].”
After that, a police officer asked for an arrest warrant for Aquilino Perez Ambrocio, 32, for committing a lewd or lascivious act on somebody 12 to 16 years old.
That report wasn’t signed until Oct. 11 and the suspect was booked on Oct. 25 at 7:32 p.m. A judge set his bond at $50,000, but he has been at the Main Detention Center ever since.
If he does bond out, he would be required to have no contact with anyone under 18, or witnesses, and he won’t be allowed to have any weapons.

This wasn’t Perez Ambrocio’s first arrest in Palm Beach County in the past year.
Another arrest report said on June 3, his girlfriend went to the Riviera Beach police station and said he’d been living with her and somebody else.
The girlfriend gave the officers an “Order Granting Petition for Final Injunction to Prevent Child Abuse or Domestic Violence” that had been issued on Feb. 24 and signed by a judge.
“On page 6, paragraph 9 of the injunction, it states that Aquilino Perez Ambrocio shall have no contact with [somebody or a group],” the arrest report said.
Then, a Riviera Beach officer wrote, “Perez Ambrocio confirmed he had been living at [address] for the past three months. Perez Ambrocio and stated he greets [somebody] on the regular. Perez Ambrocio stated he greets her by saying ‘Hi’ and ‘Good morning.’”
That’s when he was arrested for violation of an injunction for protection against domestic violence.
He was booked on June 4th at 5:59 a.m. and released the next day at 2:08 p.m.
Perez Ambrocio’s other Palm Beach County arrests were in 2021 and 2019. They were for criminal traffic violations.
