Aiding a teenager slumped on the ground having a medical episode this month led to North Miami Beach officers learning that a Miami Gardens man had been raping her for at least the last two years \u2014 a discovery that her mother had long since made, authorities say.<\/p>\n
Junior Pericles Cher-Frere, 23, is facing charges of lewd or lascivious battery on a minor and delivery of a controlled substance to a minor, his arrest report read. As of Thursday afternoon, he remained in the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center.<\/p>\n
On March 4, North Miami Beach police officers rushed to a 911 call of a teen lying on the ground at a home. Paramedics treated her there, after which she and her mother went to the North Miami Beach Police Department for an interview, the report read.<\/p>\n
Earlier in the day, the young girl, whose age was not released, met with Cher-Frere. He gave her marijuana, which she used, and then \u201cengaged in sexual intercourse\u201d in his car, police said. The girl remembered feeling \u201chazy\u201d and unable to think clearly after.<\/p>\n
Police said she told them she and Cher-Frere met at least three years prior when she was 13 and he was 20, authorities said. She described their connection as a \u201cdating relationship\u201d in which they later had sex.<\/p>\n
Her mother revealed that she knew of the illegal relationship two years prior. When she discovered it, she texted Cher-Frere informing him that her daughter was underage and ordered him to end all contact with her \u2014 he said he knew and would stop, which was a lie, police said.<\/p>\n
Cher-Frere was arrested by North Miami Beach police\u2019s tactical investigations unit on Wednesday at a Miami Gardens home. In a police interview, authorities said he confessed to meeting the girl when she was 13 years old at a party and some months later \u201cbegan to have sex\u201d with her.<\/p>\n
He continued to allege that the only reason he continued the illegal act was \u201cdue to threats [the girl] was making to expose their sexual activity,\u201d police wrote in his report.<\/p>\n
Officers informed him that regardless, \u201clegally he should not have been having sex with the underage [girl].\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Aiding a teenager slumped on the ground having a medical episode this month led to North Miami Beach…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":189851,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[123,2431,125,124,32371,88737,88738],"class_list":["post-189850","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-miami","tag-miami","tag-miami-gardens","tag-miami-headlines","tag-miami-news","tag-north-miami-beach","tag-pericles-cher-frere","tag-police-interview"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/189850","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=189850"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/189850\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/189851"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=189850"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=189850"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=189850"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
