The boy had consumed alcohol and went to a bedroom to sleep off the effects, but Valecillos entered the room and performed a sex act on the boy without his consent, police said.
When the boy realized what was happening, he pushed his way out of the room and left the home.
The boy reported the incident to his parents, who called police.

While detectives were investigating, Valecillos contacted the boy and requested sexually explicit photos of him, and agreed to meet the boy for a sexual encounter, police said.
When Valecillos showed up at a shopping plaza on Monday for what he thought was a meeting with the boy, he was taken into police custody, officials said.
Valecillos was booked into jail. He later appeared in court where he was ordered held without bond. He cannot have contact with the victim or other minors and cannot use any device that has internet access.
In a statement Thursday, Pembroke Pines Police said they're "committed to protecting all members of our community, especially children."
"Investigators have not identified any evidence to suggest that Silva Valecillos had any other inappropriate contact with children," the statement read. "However, if a parent or guardian believes that their child may have encountered Valecillos, they are urged to contact lead Detective Ralph Rienzo with the Special Victims Unit at rrienzo@ppines.com or direct office line 954-743-1616."
