According to the North Miami Police Department, the assault happened on Sept. 3, 2025 at the girl\u2019s apartment. That\u2019s one day after they said Gillo approached her after school.<\/p>\n
Authorities said Gillo had texted with the victim and told her he was 17 and the two arranged a meeting at the girl\u2019s apartment while her mother was at work.<\/p>\n
Police said Gillo had the girl perform oral sex on him and then asked her to have intercourse. They said \u201cthe victim repeatedly told him no, but eventually complied out of fear.\u201d<\/p>\n
Authorities said Gillo left after \u201cthe victim began to cry\u201d during the five-minute assault.<\/p>\n
According to another arrest report, the KFC incident happened nearly a year before the rape.<\/p>\n
North Miami police said on Oct. 7, 2024, Gillo, then 20 and working at the KFC at 701 NW 119th St., had unlocked a restroom door for a girl who had asked to use it.<\/p>\n
According to NMPD, after the girl went in and locked the door, Gillo used the key to unlock it again and go in, asking the girl if he could \u201cwash his hands.\u201d<\/p>\n
Police said the girl \u2015 also under 16 \u2015 told him \u201cno,\u201d but he stayed inside \u201cand asked her if she keep(s) secrets.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe victim stated that (Gillo) told her to \u2018keep this secret\u2019 and started to unbuckle his belt and unzipped his pants,\u201d the report states. \u201cThe victim stated that (he) told her to touch his penis.\u201d<\/p>\n
Authorities said surveillance video showed the girl bolting out of the bathroom after Gillo made the lewd request.<\/p>\n
Police said they took him into custody two days later and he claimed he was outside sending text messages while the girl was inside the bathroom.<\/p>\n
They said Gillo let officers search his phone to back up his alibi.<\/p>\n
\u201cA check of (Gillo\u2019s) phone revealed that he was not sending any text messages or making any phone calls during the time the victim was using the bathroom,\u201d the NMPD report states. \u201cWhile going through (his) phone, it was observed that he had a saved pornographic video of a child engaging in sex.\u201d<\/p>\n
He was arrested on charges of lewd and lascivious conduct on a child under 16 and a charge related to the transmission of child sexual abuse material. While the case remained active as of Wednesday morning, court records show prosecutors did not pursue the latter charge.<\/p>\n
As of Wednesday morning, Gillo remained jailed without bond at the Metrowest Detention Center.<\/p>\n
