ABILENE, Texas (KTAB/KRBC) – An Abilene man accused of a child sex crime has been arrested.
Thomas Mendoza was booked into the Taylor county Jail last week for Indecency with a Child in connection to the allegations.
Court documents reveal the investigation began in March when a child victim made an outcry against Mendoza, saying he physically and sexually abused her.
During a subsequent interview about the allegations, the documents state this child described an incident where Mendoza touched her inappropriately several years ago.
Mendoza was released from jail after posting a $40,000 bond.
