Repairman Accused Of Raping Customer's 5-Year-Old Daughter

ZEPHYRHILLS, FL — An appliance repairman is accused of raping a customer’s 5-year-old daughter after being called to a home to repair a washing machine.

Francisco Rene Vallejo, 59, of Otis Allen Road in Zephyrhills was arrested Monday and charged with sexual battery. He is being held at the Land O' Lakes Detention Center without bond.

Deputies said, while Vallejo was working on a washing machine at a customer's home in Zephyrhills, the mother of the 5-year-old girl went to make a business-related call. When she returned, she said Vallejo was no longer working on the washing machine. She said she located him on the couch of her living room on top of her daughter.

Pasco County Sheriff's deputies said the little girl described to deputies and nurses in graphic detail what Vallejo did to her.

When interviewed, Vallejo admitted to sexually battering the girl and called himself "a monster."
