Nicholas Perez was also accused of offering and giving the teens, aged 14 and 16, cocaine, according to a Hollywood Police Department officer’s report.
On Jan. 12, 2024, the teens “decided to go to a party” at Black Flamingo in Pompano Beach, “where they consumed alcohol,” the police officer wrote.
After leaving Black Flamingo, the teens went to a Denny’s on Jan. 13, 2024, and to the beach, where they “consumed more alcohol,” according to the report.
Police said Perez was 31 years old but claimed to be 24 before he met with the teens on Jan. 13, 2024, at the beach in Boca Raton.
According to the report, Perez drove the teens to the Breeze Inn, a motel in Hollywood, rented a room, and invited them in.
Perez and the teens started “making out” — “oral sex,” “sex,” and more cocaine use followed — before he drove them to one of their homes, according to the report.
The 14-year-old girl reported Perez’s abuse on Jan. 29, 2024, and the second victim reported the abuse on April 29, 2026, according to the police officer’s report.
