A New Mexico man has been accused of raping three different children in a week after being released on bail twice by the same judge then going on the run.

Raymond Hernandez, 29, was arrested for a third time on Monday morning after a state-wide manhunt.

He was first taken into custody on January 15 after allegedly raping a 13-year-old girl and beating her friend.

He was released on a $10,000 bond which had been agreed by Judge Ernest Ortega.

Two days later, after being allowed out on the basis that he wear an ankle monitor, he was arrested again for allegedly molesting a 19-month-old girl who lived in the same home as the teen he is said to have raped, The Taos News reports.

Judge Ernest Ortega granted the accused predator's release twice

Shockingly, Ortega granted him bail of $20,000, which he paid, and he was released again.

On January 24, after being released, he allegedly raped a five-year-old girl.

He then fled the town of Penasco, where he is from, and was not arrested until January 28 in Colorado.

He was taken into custody 88 miles from where he fled.

Further details of his arrest were not immediately available on Tuesday afternoon.

It is unclear when he will be extradited back to New Mexico to face the charges and if he will be granted bail again.

No other information about him was immediately available.
