posted (November 13, 2015)
Tonight, 31 year old single father of two Lionel Quiroz is behind bars beginning to serve a 2 years sentence after the Senior Magistrate, Sharon Fraser found him guilty for sexual assault of a 9 year old girl.

The child testified in closed court that two years ago, in November of 2014, Quiroz, who she knew from the area walked up to her, hugged her and then touched her on her backside.

Quiroz told the court that it wasn't him and that he was in Biscayne at the time. But Senior Magistrate Fraser found him guilty after the child - who is now 11 - gave a compelling account on the witness stand.

Quiroz could have ended up serving the maximum three years for this inappropriate contact but during the trial, he brought his two children to the court and they had to be kept outside since he claim he is their sole care giver after their mother walked out, leaving him to care for them.
