The 14-year-old girl was paid for babysitting services with alcohol. Eventually, Castillo asked for sex, and paid her for it, police said. The girl began to refuse further advances, and Castillo threatened her and forced her to have sex, police said.
The 17-year-old girl was a friend of the first victim. She and the 14-year-old stayed over Castillo’s house on Halloween, where he plied them with vodka and sexually assaulted them, police said.
