Hernandez is accused of sexually assaulting his girlfriend’s 13-year-old daughter at their Peñasco home on January 12 after giving the teen and her friend shots of whiskey.

Hernandez was arrested but Judge Ernest Ortega released him on $10,000 bail with an ankle monitor.

Two days later, new accusations surfaced that alleged Hernandez had also raped a 19-month-old baby who lived in the same house.

Hernandez was arrested again and released on $20,000 dollar bail.

That same day, Hernandez was accused of raping a 6-year-old neighbor.

Charges in two of the cases have been dropped but are still under investigation.

Prosecutors say the alleged crimes were committed before Hernandez’s first arrest.

In court, Hernandez’s attorney argued that his client wasn’t a danger to the community or a flight risk.

“Clearly, the allegations are not strong allegations. There’s all kinds of conflicting statements and testimony, or conflicting statements anyway,” the defense attorney said. “There’s no criminal history, there’s no signs of drug use, drug abuse. He’s lived in this area his entire life. He’s got his family in this area.”

Hernandez’s sister, Rachael Hernandez, testified that she has no concerns about letting her brother live with her and her 10 children in Questa while he awaits trial.

Judge McElroy then denied the prosecution’s request to hold Hernandez pending trial and released Hernandez to his sister.

“I am concerned that there are children in the home. but these are children that he’s had contact with his entire life and there’s no allegations of any misconduct and that these children appear to be – made statements to CYFD – that they feel safe with him and that there appears to be adequate supervision of those children.”

The judge also ordered Hernandez to avoid unsupervised contact with children and he must also wear a GPS monitor while under house arrest.
