NEW BERLIN – A man accused of having an indecent relationship with a minor was discovered to be an illegal immigrant and deported. Christian F. Alvarez, 21, of Holmes Ave., New Berlin, was arrested after an investigation conducted by the New Berlin Police Department. He will now be deported back to Equador.

Alvarez was charged with forcible touching and endangering the welfare of a child. Police said Alvarez had a consensual relationship with an underaged girl that went too far, and they had received complaints from third parties. After officials responded to the allegations, they uncovered enough evidence to press charges. Police also discovered Alvarez was not a U.S. citizen and has been in the U.S. for five years illegally.

He was arraigned in the Town of New Berlin Court and was being held at the Chenango County Correctional Facility in lieu of $5,000 cash bail. Alvarez was then handed over to Immigration and Naturalization Service and will be deported. The I.N.S. is currently launching its own investigation into the incident.
