Attorney Juan Maurin told Stuzin that he was representing Borbolla, who had surrendered to police on Friday.
Borbolla has “never been arrested in her life ... she has a host of physical problems, including a pacemaker and some other things,” Maurin said.
Records show Borbolla, who is 5-foot, 2-inches tall, was at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center on Saturday afternoon. She lives in Miami-Dade’s Country Walk area.
Stuzin ordered Borbolla to stay away from the victim. According to police, the victim is a critical witness in an open criminal case.
“The defendant’s son was arrested,” Stuzin said adding that she couldn’t continue reading the arrest form aloud in open court.
Miami-Dade court records show Borbolla’s son, Raul Borbolla Jr., was arrested in January, and he was facing 23 child sex abuse charges.
Stuzin set Olivia Borbolla’s bond at $7,500 Miami-Dade Circuit Judge Lody Jean was set to preside over her case.
