Man Charged After Custody Test Incident | Portland Maine News
from Portland Maine News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
A man named Robert Perales faces serious charges—including kidnapping, assault, and unlawful sexual touching—after allegedly attacking a woman during a urine test at a testing facility in Ellsworth. The incident occurred on March 12th when Perales, a male employee supervising a child custody-related test, allegedly made unwanted advances, grabbed, and groped the woman as she tried to leave the bathroom. She suffered visible injuries and bravely reported the assault. Despite Perales’ denial and claims he followed protocol, the test was marked “observed,” contradicting his story. He was released on $2,000 bail with a no-contact order, with his next court date in November. This case exposes troubling power imbalances and the courage it takes to speak up.
