The 20-year-old afterschool worker accused of raping a 12-year-old Everett Middle School student remains incarcerated after a hearing today.

arrested on March 5 at Everett Middle Schoolduring his arraignment. His maximum time in prison would be 14 years as a result of the felonies charged, including three counts of committing a lewd act upon a child, unlawful sexual intercourse and contact with a minor for sexual offense, according to court documents.

Prosecutor Tanisha Gooch summoned two witnesses today: A San Francisco police officer and sergeant who both had first-hand information regarding the case. While being interviewed by Officer Santana on March 5, Blacknell identified Reyes as the “boyfriend” the victim had mentioned to her. Santana also identified Reyes in the courtroom today.

He also recalled the 12-year-old and Reyes calling each other pet names, saying “I love you” and sending emojis of heart shapes and kisses. Once, Reyes even sent a Spanish sentence that could be roughly translated as “I wanna eat you up,” according to Santana. Kelly said the 12-year-old named three platforms on which she and Reyes had been communicating: WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger and Instagram. The girl’s phone has been handed to the Crime Scene Investigation’s multimedia evidence unit.

Kelly has had difficulty locating the address of the apartment where the alleged rape took place. According to the sergeant, Reyes provided one address, while Kelly and his team found another. Public defender Freeman said that while Reyes did have a prior misdemeanor conviction in Richmond when he was 18, he didn’t have other criminal history, and he has been a young person shuttling in and out of foster care facilities since he was 13 years old. And once Reyes was incarcerated, he lost the funds that pay rent for his apartment.

“I agree he’s not a flight risk, but the risk to public safety, from the evidence I’ve heard, is severe,” said Ferrall, who said the material presented today in court was “extremely troubling.”
