In an arrest report, police wrote that Junior Romero saw the girl at a bus stop at West 24th Avenue and 60th Street, approached her, sat next to her and told her he wanted to ā€œget her pregnant.ā€

When the city bus arrived, Romero got on board with the victim and continued stating to her that he ā€œhas a big d--- and can get her wet,ā€ police wrote.

After she got off the bus at the M.A. Milam K-8 Center at 6020 W. 16th Ave., Romero walked with her to the front of the school, according to police. In fear, she approached a school resource officer and reported what happened.

The officer detained the man and called Hialeah police, who took Romero into custody.

Romero, a Venezuelan national who lives on the streets of Miami, made statements to police that corroborated the victimā€™s story, investigators wrote.

Police took Romero to the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center, where he faced a $5,000 bond on a charge of aggravated stalking of a minor under 16, a third-degree felony.
