Carrollton Police Arrest Aggravated Sexual Assault Of A Child Suspects At Local School
CARROLLTON (CBSDFW.COM) — A teacher and an office assistant at a Carrollton church are both facing child sex assault charges.
Carrollton police arrested 59-year-old Luis Escobar and 71-year-old Alvaro Jimenez at Ministerios Bethania USA, a school along Belt Line Road.
The men are each facing three counts of aggravated sexual assault of a child for the alleged assault of a 14-year-old girl in 2018.
According to investigators, both Escobar, a teacher of virtual church classes for adults, and Jimenez, who was responsible for various office duties, were also living on the campus.
The investigation began in September 2021 when the victim, now 18-years-old, reported the assault to a school counselor. Investigators believe the victim met the suspects through the church, but that the assault did not happen on church property.
Both men were taken into custody on February 8, booked into the Carrollton City Jail and later transferred to the Dallas County Jail where they are awaiting bond hearings.
Investigators encourage anyone with information about this case or anyone else who may have been victimized by the men to contact the Carrollton Police Department at 972-466-3324.
