A 63-year-old man was arrested in Miami on charges of kidnapping and sexual abuse of a minor. He is Carlos Brito, who, according to the police report, offered a ride to a 16-year-old teenager at a Metrorail station, took him to his home in Silver Bluff, and subjected him to non-consensual sexual acts.
The police reported that the incident occurred on Tuesday night. The minor was waiting for a bus outside a Metrorail station when Brito approached him in a silver truck and offered to give him a ride. Once inside the vehicle, Brito locked the doors and showed him an adult video on his cell phone. The young man tried to refuse, but remained silent out of fear that the man might be armed.
According to local media, the accused drove him to his home (located at 2900 Southwest 27th Terrace), where, according to the report, the abuses occurred. Afterwards, Brito took the minor near his home and released him. The victim managed to record part of the vehicle's license plate and Brito's address, which allowed authorities to identify him.
Brito was arrested this Wednesday, March 19, and during his interrogation, he provided several contradictory accounts of the events. Initially, he denied having picked up the minor, but after being confronted with surveillance evidence, he admitted that he took the child to his home. The accused remains in custody without bail at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center, charged with kidnapping and unlawful sexual activity with a minor.
According to Univision, Brito worked for more than 30 years for Miami-Dade County, although no specific details about his roles have been provided.
Authorities are urging potential additional victims to report any similar incidents.
