A Santa Fe man has been charged with criminal sexual contact with a minor after he was accused of groping a teen girl in the laundry room of a housing complex.
A criminal complaint filed Monday in Santa Fe County Magistrate Court says the teen told a city police officer Antonio Perez-Perez, 63, who also lives at Coronado Condominiums on Cerrillos Road, had approached her in the laundry room and began touching her aggressively.
He gave her $20 and begged her not to tell her mother about the incident, according to the complaint.
The Santa Fe officer reviewed surveillance video footage that corroborated the girl’s account of Perez-Perez’s behavior, the complaint states.
Perez-Perez was arrested Sunday and booked in the Santa Fe County jail.
