Town of Beloit police accuse a Belvidere teen of raping a 14-year-old girl in the garage of her home.

19-year-old Joel Perez is charged in Rock County Court with first-degree sexual assault of a child under the age of 16 by use of force.

The criminal complaint said the victim was trying to sneak back into her home early Sunday morning when Perez approached her, pushed her to the ground and forced her into the garage where he sexually assaulted her.

She told police she begged Perez to stop, and she suffered a laceration on her face during the incident.

Court Commissioner Jack Hoag set a $500 cash bond for Perez at his initial appearance on Monday and ordered that he have no intentional contact with any minors.
