Hernandez is presently being held in Montgomery County Jail on account of his immigration status, as well as his alleged sexual assault of a minor, according to the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office. Hernandez’s victim “was 11 years old when the abuse started.”

On Thursday, Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office Special Victim’s Unit executed a search warrant in the 400 Block of Gladstell in Conroe, Texas, for the aggravated sexual assault of a child.

Investigators reported that Hernandez was not home at the time they searched the residence. According to investigators, Hernandez was attempting to flee the United States and return to Mexico, evading law enforcement. (RELATED: Brother Of Cop Killed By Illegal Immigrant Breaks Silence)

The Courier of Montgomery County reported that Hernandez had previously been deported from the United States “on multiple occasions.” Due to Hernandez’s history of illegal immigration, a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement hold has been requested, which would turn him over into federal custody once he is released from his jail sentence.
