An Arroyo Seco man is in the Santa Fe County jail on sexual assault charges for allegedly raping a 16-year-old developmentally disabled girl at his house.

Sergio Alejandro Real-Vasquez, 31, faces five second-degree felony charges of criminal sexual penetration of a minor along with a count of criminal sexual contact of a minor and one count of false imprisonment. He is being held in lieu of a $50,000 cash-only bond for the charges and is also being kept on a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement hold.

A state police affidavit for a search warrant for Real-Vasquez’s house says that on April 18 the girl’s mother took the girl, along with her 9-year-old brother, to Real-Vasquez’s house off Boneyard Road where he lived with a friend of the mother. The children were left with Real-Vasquez when the others went out for the evening, according to the affidavit.

The girl was enrolled in a ninth-grade special education program, the document states. She later told police that she was searching for a family dog when Real-Vasquez assaulted her. She told police, the warrant states, that Real-Vasquez forced her to have sex and oral sex.

The brother had gone outside to play, according to the warrant, but then saw his sister run out from the house saying “get away from me,” as she jumped a fence and ran to a neighbor’s house.

The girl told the neighbor what had happened and the neighbor called the girl’s mother, according to the warrant.

Real-Vasquez wasn’t arrested until May 30 after state police had conducted safe-house interviews with both the girl and her brother.

The case remains in Santa Fe County Magistrate Court and Real-Vasquez is scheduled for a preliminary hearing on Wednesday, June 12.
