Miami-Dade police officer arrested, accused of child molestation – NBC 6 South Florida
A Miami-Dade police officer is facing serious charges after allegedly molesting children.
40-year-old Daniel Ramos-Aviles was arrested on a warrant Monday night and transported to the Turner Guilford Knight Correction Facility without incident, according to the arrest report.
Ramos-Aviles, a Miami resident, faces several charges including sexual battery on a minor, lewd and lascivious molestation of a child under 12 as well as lewd and lascivious exhibition on a child under 16.
He is being held without bond.
In bond court Tuesday, the judge ordered Ramos-Aviles to have no contact with the victims, which she referred to as three children.
He was also ordered to surrender any firearms.
Miami-Dade Police Interim Director Stephanie V. Daniels responded to the charges in a statement released Tuesday.
“I am appalled to know that as a result of an investigation, detectives from our Special Victims Bureau arrested a member of this agency,” Daniels said. “The Miami-Dade Police Department will not tolerate this behavior, and as is customary, the department will assist and cooperate with the judicial process.”
