Jesus Tamanis-Peralta, a 37-year-old man from Martin County, has evaded law enforcement and is suspected of sexually assaulting a young girl over a period of eight years, beginning when she was only eight years old. The abuse came to light when a family member discovered recordings and confronted Tamanis-Peralta on Dec. 2, and he fled on Dec. 3.

Circumstances of Offense:
The abuse started when the girl was eight and has been happening for years. It came to light when a family member stumbled upon recordings and confronted Tamanis-Peralta on Dec. 2. He took off on Dec. 3. According to reports, the accusations surfaced after a family member confronted Tamanis-Peralta following the discovery of disturbing recordings.
Additional Details:
Last seen on Thursday in Bradenton, Tamanis-Peralta is undocumented and originally from Mexico. The Martin County Sheriff's Office obtained a credible tip that suspected child rapist Jesus Tamanis-Peralta was seen in McAllen, Texas on Sunday, Dec. 15 about 10 miles away from the border. Detectives have highlighted Tamanis-Peralta's connections to specific locales within the area, including the Monterey neighborhood in Stuart, and the Manatee Creek community. Tamanis-Peralta faces capital felonies and, if convicted, could spend his life in prison. MCSO is working closely with the U.S. Marshals Service, the FBI and border agents. Sheriff's concern extends beyond the immediate case, fearing that there could be additional victims. As of this posting, Tamanis-Peralta has an active warrant in the FDLE warrant database.
