 Austin,
TX – Abraham Moya Ortiz, 31, whose last known address was in the Del Valle
area, was arrested this morning by the Lone Star Fugitive Task Force near the
intersection of Tinnin Ford Rd., and Riverside without incident. Ortiz was
sought by Bastrop County authorities last month for his alleged involvement with
the continuous sexual abuse of a child, a first degree felony in Texas. Ortiz
fled the area several weeks ago after he may have been aware of the pending
charges that were likely to be filed against him.
Task Forces officers picked up his trail recently and were alerted to Ortiz’s
presence in Austin yesterday afternoon after interviews in the nearby area
confirmed Ortiz was loitering in the vicinity seeking day labor. Early this
morning, task force officers established surveillance in the vicinity of several
areas where individuals seek day labor.
Ortiz was transported to the Bastrop County Detention Center with bond set at
$500,000.
Robert R. Almonte, United States Marshal for the Western District of Texas
states, “The Lone Star Fugitive Task Force is committed to locating fugitives
who prey upon our children and we will not stop at anything in our effort to
make our communities safer.”
