McAllen, TX – A Houston man wanted for Indecency
with a child was arrested by the United States Marshals Service-multi agency
led Gulf Coast Violent Offenders Fugitive Task Force (GCVOFTF) on October 5,
2012.
Gonzalo Molina, 25, was wanted by the District Court in Harris County,
Texas, for the offense of Indecency with a Child by Sexual Contact. It is
alleged that Molina sexually assaulted a young female on two separate
occasions in Houston, Texas. The first incident occurred on October 2010 and
the second on January 2011. Molina learned that a warrant for arrest was
issued against him, and Molina fled the Houston area to avoid apprehension
from law enforcement. The case was referred to the U.S. Marshals Service
GCVOFTF McAllen Division to locate and arrest Molina.
On October 5, 2012, a Texas Department of Public Safety Task Force Officer
and a Weslaco Police Task Force Officer assigned to the U.S. Marshals
Service Fugitive Task Force developed information that Molina was residing
in Weslaco, Texas. During surveillance, the Task Force Officers observed
Molina leave the residence in a vehicle. Members of the GCVOFTF followed the
vehicle and subsequently stopped and arrested Molina with the assistance of
the Weslaco Police Department. Molina is being held at the Weslaco Police
Department awaiting extradition to Houston, Texas
The GCVOFTF is a team comprised of law enforcement officers from the U.S.
