Alejandro Ortiz-Perez
ATHENS-Police Chief Floyd Johnson released a statement concerning the arrest of a suspect in case of sexual abuse of a child stemming from a case reported in May of 2014:
“In May of 2014 the police department and DHR investigated a possible improper touching incident between a 9-year-old female and a 29-year-old male.
At the time of the investigation the victim wouldn’t talk about the incident. A few days ago the victim talked to an interviewer at the Child’s Advance Center. The information obtained was very useful in the investigation. This morning Investigators Bret Constable and Jonathan Caldwell picked up Alejandro Ortiz-Perez and interviewed him about the incident.
After the interview Ortiz-Perez was arrested for sexual abuse of a child under 12 years of age. The victim in this case is the suspects step daughter.
Ortiz-Perez was booked at the police department and transferred to the county jail. This case remains under investigation.”
