EDINBURG — A gang member faced charges after he allegedly raped a 12-year-old girl near Edinburg last week.

Hidalgo County sheriff’s deputies arrested Carlos Javier Serrano, 19, on charges of aggravated sexual assault of a child Monday night.

A suspected Texas Chicano Brotherhood gang member, Serrano was also wanted on charges of possession of marijuana and burglary of a habitation in connection to a separate incident, Sheriff Lupe Treviño said in a statement.

Hidalgo County Justice of the Peace Gilberto Saenz arraigned Serrano on a charge of aggravated sexual assault, a first-degree felony.

Treviño said the young girl and Serrano are related, though not by blood, and other family members were at an Edinburg residence on Dallas Avenue when Serrano “undressed her by force and sexually assaulted her.â€
