On May 4, 2021, the Honorable Geoffrey Goodman sentenced Rigoberto Hernandez Perez to 3 years in prison.  On March 24, 2021, a jury convicted Perez of attempted lewd and lascivious act on a child and indecent exposure.

On July 20, 2020, it was reported that a suspicious man was watching children play in an apartment complex and offering them money.  The children had seen Perez in their complex five times.  On one occasion when a 10-year-old girl was alone, Perez asked her if she wanted money.  Perez then told the girl to hide behind a bush, where he exposed himself and asked her to touch him.
