UPPER DARBY — An immigration detainer was placed on a Drexel Hill man for a violation after being arrested this week for allegedly molesting an 11-year-old girl two years ago.
Lester Dionisio, 30, was arraigned Wednesday on charges of aggravated indecent assault on a child less that 13, indecent assault and corruption of minors.
According to court records, Upper Darby police initiated an investigation after receiving notice Nov. 11 from the Delaware County Children and Youth Services concerning the now 13-year-old victim.
Criminal Investigator Robert Bennett interviewed the teen and her mother who reported Dionisio was the son of a family friend living in the same house in 2011.
“(The victim) stated late one evening she walked downstairs to get her school bag,” Bennett wrote in the affidavit. “Lester asked her to stay and talk with him. He grabbed her, pulled her towards him and began kissing her on the lips. He pulled her to the sofa and continued to kiss her,” allegedly touching her breasts and vagina under her clothes and digitally penetrating her vagina.
When the girl’s mother approached Dionisio was startled and pushed her away.
Suspecting something was wrong the girl’s parents took her to Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia followed by an investigation by CYS.
Dionisio, a citizen of Honduras, is wanted by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement for allegedly reentering the country after being removed for his criminal record.
Bail was set at $100,000 pending a preliminary hearing on Dec. 3 in district court on the township offenses.
