Man, 22, is arrested again for new sex abuse charge
A 22-year-old man allegedly sexually abused a 15-year-old girl who was then sleeping in her bedroom on Saipan last Wednesday night.
The suspect, Peter Fritz Lizama, was arrested and brought to the Superior Court Monday on charges of two counts of sexual abuse of a minor and one count of disturbing the peace.
Associate Judge Kenneth L. Govendo imposed a $75,000 cash bail for Lizama’s temporary freedom and set the preliminary hearing for Aug. 20 at 1:30pm.
Police said that Lizama cried during the interview and confessed he had sex with the girl.
The girl told police that it was the seventh time that Lizama had sex with her and that the previous incidents happened in 2015.
According to police, when officers met with the girl last Thursday, she had puffy eyes and appeared to have been crying.
The girl stated that while she was sleeping in her bedroom last Wednesday night and was awakened by someone touching her privates.
The girl said she was very scared and did not know if she should fight, scream, or run away.
The girl said that when she shifted around, the man stopped and ran out from her bedroom. She looked through her window and recognized the man as Lizama.
Last November, Superior Court Associate Judge Joseph N. Camacho found probable cause for all charges to move forward against Lizama who allegedly sexually abused a 15-year-old girl who was earlier reported missing in Koblerville. There were no available information yet about that case as of yesterday.
The girl was reported missing last Nov. 9 at night, but was recovered by police the following day. Police learned that she did not return home from the day before, Nov. 8.
