Julio Trejo has filed a civil lawsuit against the city of Homestead and Officer Pedro Perez, alleging a conspiracy that resulted in his arrest just before a crucial custody hearing for his three children. Trejo claims that Perez and his ex-girlfriend, Lian Sierra, had a romantic relationship that influenced the officer to arrest him, preventing him from presenting his case in court. The lawsuit suggests they communicated through texts detailing their plans, though many messages have gone missing due to a reported technical failure.
"A police officer was allowed to use his badge to put me in jail in exchange for a sexual encounter with the mother of my children, and he still has the power to arrest any citizen. There is no accountability," Trejo said last week through his attorney.
Trejo claims in his lawsuit to have found hundreds of texts on his son's Apple Watch between his ex and Perez, after a failed attempt to retrieve them from the city of Homestead.
He claims his ex used the watch to communicate with Perez. Mysteriously, the vast majority of the texts sent between July and December 2023 disappeared due to a technical malfunction, the city of Homes.
In the filing, Trejo claims there are hundreds of texts between the two that spoke of their romantic desires and outlined the plan to take him into custody.
