The Miami-Dade County Sheriff’s Office said it booked 21-year-old Javier Jose Gonzalez Castillo into custody on charges of lewd or lascivious battery sexual activity following his arrest. According to the agency, Gonzalez Castillo was taken into custody and processed by county law enforcement.
The arrest details for Gonzalez Castillo appeared in a Miami-Dade County Mugshots Facebook post that listed the booking date of May 8 along with the specific charge of lewd or lascivious battery sexual activity. The post provided the suspect’s physical description, age and time of arrest as reported in the linked content. Miami-Dade County Sheriff’s Office oversees such cases through its corrections operations across the county.
Florida law classifies lewd or lascivious battery as a second-degree felony punishable by up to 15 years in prison when it involves sexual activity with a person 12 years of age or older but under 16. Miami-Dade County maintains a public sexual offenders and predators residence search tool to help communities track individuals convicted under these statutes. State and local agencies continue active enforcement of these laws to protect minors from such offenses, according to Florida state law.
Nationwide operations by ICE and state partners have targeted criminal illegal aliens who are registered sex offenders, resulting in the arrest of 230 individuals in Florida alone during a 10-day statewide initiative focused on sexual assault, battery and lewd or lascivious offenses against children. The FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting program tracks incidents of sexual offenses and child victimization through the National Incident-Based Reporting System to inform law enforcement strategies. These efforts highlight ongoing collaboration between federal and local agencies on public safety priorities involving sexual crimes, according to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office serves Miami-Dade County as the largest sheriff’s office in the southeastern United States with more than 4,900 employees operating out of eight district stations. The agency transitioned back to sheriff’s office status in January 2025 under Sheriff Rosie Cordero-Stutz and focuses on law enforcement, corrections and community partnerships to maintain safety across the region. Its corrections division manages inmate processing and public records access for arrests including those involving serious felony charges, according to Miami-Dade County.
