Homestead Child Kidnapper, Rapist Sentenced

HIALEAH GARDENS (CBS4) ― The man who kidnapped two young Homestead girls, prompting a statewide Amber Alert, could spend the rest of his life in police custody.

Lindoro Alvarado pleaded guilty Tuesday to a slew of kidnapping and sexual assault charges. Under a plea deal, he will serve 22 years in prison

Alvarado, an undocumented worker from Mexico, was renting a room from a Homestead mother in March 2008 when he whisked away two daughters, ages 3 and 6, police said.

Prosecutors said he sexually assaulted the older girl in a wooded area. The three were spotted hours later walking in Hialeah Gardens.

After his prison term, the 54-year-old faces 20 years probation and civil commitment to a facility for dangerous sexual predators.

The deal, struck in agreement with the family and Miami-Dade police, will also spare the older girl from the ordeal of testifying at trial, according to Assistant State Attorney Laura Adams.
