Two plead guilty to sex crimes

The disturbing trend of sexual abuse of young girls continues, with two offenders pleading guilty in separate cases. In the Court of Magistrate Harrison Hulett, thirty-one year old Feliciano Novelo of Jane Usher Boulevard was sentenced to a year in jail for indecent assault. He had fondled a ten-year-old, unaware that his acts were being observed by the child’s mother, who promptly reported the outrage to police.

Meanwhile, in the court of Magistrate Earl Jones, a nineteen-year-old B.D.F. volunteer pled guilty to two counts of aggravated assault. Alford Castillo of Mahogany Street confessed to fondling two sisters last month. The crime was reported to police by the girls, age eight and twelve. Castillo was sentenced to three years behind bars on each count, the sentences to run concurrently.
