A 43-YEAR-OLD man appeared at Croydon Magistrates' Court today (February 13) charged with two counts of raping a 12-year-old boy.
Marlon Llerena, of Yeldham Road, Hammersmith, entered no plea to the two charges, which relate to acts of oral sex on a boy at a Croydon address.
Llerena, whose first language is Spanish, spoke only to confirm his name and address.
He also stands accused of sexually touching the youngster and inciting him to perform a non-penetrative sexual act.
All the offences are alleged to have taken place between New Year's Eve 2013 and January 19, 2014.
Districh Judge Richard Inyundo bailed Llerena to appear at Croydon Crown Court on February 27.
The terms of his bail mean he must not have unsupervised contact with anyone under 18. He is also prohibited from contacting the alleged victim and members of his immediate family. Finally, Llerena must reside at his home address.
