Girl claims massage sessions led to sexual relationship with Carlos Rojas Paz

Sunrise police said Tuesday that Carlos Rojas Paz, 25, faces five additional charges of sexual battery on a minor.

Rojas Paz was initially arrested last Thursday on seven counts, and a second girl came forward Monday, which led to six more charges.

Police said Rojas Paz was teaching a health and wellness class at Boyd H. Anderson High School in 2014 when the most recent victim injured her shin while training for track and field.

According to the police report, Rojas Paz asked the girl for her cellphone number so that he could help her "with the treatment of her shin splints." He recommended massages to relieve the pain, and "their relationship became more overtly sexual in nature" over time.

Rojas Paz often communicated with the girl via a chat application on their phones after the massages, telling her that he was "sexually aroused by giving her massages and that he desired to do things sexually to her," the report said.

Eventually, the girl grew uncomfortable with the massage sessions and quit attending them, leading Rojas Paz to contact her and ask if she was OK, the report said. The girl told police that she believed that Rojas Paz was concerned that she would tell someone about their relationship.

In April, Rojas Paz continued communicating with the teen and led her to believe that they were having an exclusive relationship, the report said.

Last month, Rojas Paz picked up the girl and took her to his apartment, where they had sex, the report said.

Their relationship finally came to an end after a condom broke during sex, leading them to be concerned about the girl possibly becoming pregnant, the report said.
