Mendez-Sales has been charged with five counts of sexual battery on a person less than 12 years of age and one count of child abuse without great bodily harm in violation of Florida Statutes 794.011(2)(a) and 827.03(2)(c), respectively.
Cobon-Mendez faces two counts of sexual battery on a person less than 12 years of age pursuant to Florida Statute 794.011(2)(a).
Both suspects admitted to the repeated abuse during interviews with investigators. They were taken into custody without incident.
The West Palm Beach Police Department extends its gratitude to our state and federal partners, including the Florida Department of Children and Families (DCF) and Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), for their critical assistance in this case.
This remains an active investigation.

The harrowing details first emerged on July 30 when the young girl bravely confided in her babysitter, reporting that she had been inappropriately touched by Mendez-Sales and Cobon-Mendez, both individuals she knew, while in the Sunset Apartment Complex.
The Department of Children and Families was immediately alerted, launching an initial investigation before bringing in law enforcement.
In a follow-up interview, the child provided a chilling account, revealing that Cobon-Mendez molested her ‘every day.’
Evidence of physical abuse was also present, with visible bruising on the child’s body, which she attributed to Mendez-Sales hitting her with a belt.
