“We pray that this child and her family are able to find resolution and healing in this verdict and sentence,” Gwinnett District Attorney Patsy Austin-Gatson said. “This defendant violated the trust of this family with his horrible actions. His punishment is justice for this family.”
On April 12, 2023, the victim’s parents saw video of Esquilin-Perez undressing himself, then undressing the 10-year-old victim.
The victim’s parents went to confront Esquilin-Perez, but he fled to a cookout to evade arrest.
