Herndon is full of illegals so my money is on an unaccompanied “minor” who isn’t 17, but more likely 26.
My guess is the Red Robin is staffed with illegals. "No, no, Señor, I know nothing..." "No, no, we do na know..."
Then, the Detective came and started dropping "la migra" hints. Suddenly, they stopped protecting their amigo.
My guess is el pervertido’s been doing this to other kids for a while; this is the first time he’s been caught.
I'll bet he lives in a Herndon town house with 26 other "minors".
