Criminal charges were pressed against Tinian resident Henry M. San Nicolas on allegations that he sexually abuse a fifteen-year-old girl on four different occasions since Jan. 1, 2001.
Detective Joann B. Aldan of the Tinian Department of Public Safety filed a complaint against the 25-year-old defendant, declaring a probable cause to charge the suspect of sexual abuse and oral copulation.
From her interview with the victim, the investigator learned that the suspect arranged for a meeting with the girl last January by calling her on the phone.
The victim further told an interview she had sexual intercourse with the suspect four times while aware that she was still a minor. She added that the suspect would pick her up to engage in sex and oral copulation and afterwards would drive her home.
She also confessed that she did not want to have sex with Mr. San Nicolas since he used to go out with her best friend. But the suspect reportedly assured the victim it was over between him and her best friend.
Police also sought information from the victim’s best friend and admitted that she and the suspect only kissed at the time they were dating.
The suspect, in an interview with investigators, admitted to having sex with the minor three to four times.
He described when and where the incidents occurred, citing that he thought the girl was 16 years old judging by her mature appearance and since she already drove a car.
The defendant appeared before the Superior Court yesterday for a hearing where a $10,000 cash bail was set for his temporary release. (MM)
