“Molestation Case in Chesterfield County: Belisario Mazariegos Arrested for Assaulting 11-Year-Old Girl”

Accident – Death – Obituary News : Chesterfield County, S.C. – A shocking incident of child sexual assault has come to light in Chesterfield County, South Carolina. On October 25, Samantha Faella’s daughter showed her explicit Snapchat messages depicting the assault of an 11-year-old girl by a 56-year-old man identified as Hector Morales. Faella immediately removed her daughter from the situation and informed the girl’s mother. Concerned for the victim’s safety, Faella decided to take temporary custody of her daughter’s friend.

Faella called 911 and drove the young girl to her home, where she questioned her about the assault. The victim’s mother arrived and demanded that Faella delete the photographic evidence. However, Faella called the police, and the mother was later charged with child endangerment. The incident report reveals that the mother placed her daughter at unreasonable risk of harm by allowing the assault to occur.

The suspect, Belisario Mazariegos, was arrested and booked into the Chesterfield County Detention Center. He was charged with Criminal Sexual Conduct with a Minor in the third degree. The sheriff’s office did not inquire about Mazariegos’ immigration status until four days after his bond hearing. This information came to light when Ethan Foard, a part-time bail bondsman, got involved in the case. Foard had received a call from a concerned business owner who couldn’t contact Mazariegos and wanted to know if he had been arrested.

Foard contacted the detention center and discovered the severity of the situation. He believes that if he hadn’t intervened, the incident may have gone unnoticed. Foard, who is also a councilman in Chesterfield County, has been vocal about the need for transparency in local government. He proposed recording and posting all committee meetings online but was voted down. Despite this setback, Foard remains committed to attending and recording every committee meeting until the council agrees to post the videos online.

The case has raised concerns about the handling of Mazariegos’ bond hearing, as the sheriff’s office did not check his immigration status before setting his bond. South Carolina law requires judges to consider an individual’s immigration status and flight risk when setting bond conditions. The investigation revealed that this process did not begin until after Foard’s involvement.

The incident has shocked the community, highlighting the need for awareness and action in cases of child sexual assault. The victim is receiving support and care, and efforts are being made to protect her identity.

As the case progresses, the community hopes for justice for the young victim and a thorough examination of the system to prevent similar incidents in the future..
