Rape suspect: Oracio Sales-Perez, 28, a native of Guatemala living in Florida, is accused of raping a 10-year-old girl in West Palm Beach three times

Guatemalan national living in Florida has been arrested and charged with repeatedly raping a 10-year-old girl in his West Palm Beach home.

Oracio Sales-Perez, 28, was taken into custody on Tuesday on three counts of sexual assault of a minor and ordered held without bond.

According to West Palm Beach police, Sales-Perez had threatened to blame the young victim for the assaults if she told anyone about them.

Sales-Perez is suspected of bringing the young girl to his apartment in West Palm Beach on three separate occasions this spring, undressing and raping her.

The alleged attacks occurred between April 1 and May 14, reported CBS 12, citing police.

A witness claimed to have seen the victim enter Sales-Perez's bedroom and shutting the door. Minutes later, the 28-year-old man emerged wearing nothing but a bath towel, reported Palm Beach Post.

The 10-year-old girl told investigators that she was scared because Sales-Perez had allegedly threatened to tell everyone the sexual assault were her fault.

When questioned by police, Sales-Perez maintained his innocence. It is unclear how he knew the 10-year-old girl.

A spokesperson for the West Palm Beach Police Department told the Daily Mail on Thursday that the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement has placed a detainer on Sales-Perez, but he would not comment on the suspect's current immigration status.

The Daily Mail reached out to ICE’s Florida field office for comment and was awaiting a response.
