posted (March 8, 2019)

56 year-old Baltazar Vasquez, a security guard from M and M street, is on remand tonight after he was charged for sexually assaulting a 5 year-old child.

The incident allegedly occurred on Wednesday morning, May 6th. The mother of the child reported to police that she left her and her 2 other siblings at home, and she went to a nearby shop to change some money, so that she could give her daughter to take to school. She returned to find her daughter wiping her mouth with her hand, and she saw Vasquez standing suspiciously close to her. She said that when she questioned her daughter, the child said that Vasquez kissed her on the  lips, and he also inserted her finger into her privates. 

Police arrested and charged Vasquez with assault, and he was arraigned today before Senior Magistrate Aretha Ford. He was denied bail, and remanded to the Belize Central Prison until May 30th, his next court date.
