Brownsville Agents Arrest Convicted Child Predator





Release Date: October 14, 2020



BROWNSVILLE, Texas – U.S. Border Patrol agents identify a child predator shortly after he illegally entered the United States.

Yesterday, Brownsville agents witnessed several subjects running north in an area well known for human smuggling attempts. Agents secured the perimeter of a field, and a search ensued. After a thorough search, agents arrested 10 illegal aliens. The subjects were transported to the station for processing.

During processing, record checks for a Mexican national, later identified as Abad TORRES-Villanueva, revealed a previous arrest by the Brownsville Police Department (BPD). BPD charged him with aggravated sexual assault of a child and a judge subsequently found him guilty. TORRES-Villanueva was sentenced to five years confinement.

Border Patrol processed TORRES-Villanueva accordingly.

The U.S. Border Patrol agents of the Rio Grande Valley Sector will continue to safeguard the nation and community against these criminal elements.
