Suspect Arrested in Sexual Assault of a Child
August 5, 2005 -- Charges are
being filed against a suspect arrested in the sexual assault of
a juvenile at a business at 150 El Dorado on Thursday (Aug. 4).
The suspect, Amilcar
Dagobert Henriquez (H/m, DOB 7/6/46), is being charged with
aggravated sexual assault of a child. He was arrested without
incident at the scene on Thursday.
Houston Police Juvenile Division Sergeant R.
L. Upton and Officer J. T. Roscoe of the Sex Crimes Unit reported:
On August 4, the suspect was working on-duty
as a Wal Mart employee when he molested a 13-year-old boy in the
restroom of the store. The employee grabbed the child while he
was in the restroom and forced him into a bathroom stall where
the boy was sexually assaulted. The child made an immediate outcry
to his mother who alerted authorities. Officers reviewed the surveillance
tapes from the store and developed a possible suspect. Henriquez
was positively identified at the scene by the victim and taken
into custody.
Henriquez provided to investigators a full confession
and details of the sexual assault. The Harris County District
Attorney's office accepted charges of aggravated sexual assault
of a child.
Investigators are asking anyone who might have
been victimized by Amilcar Henriquez to contact the HPD Juvenile
Division at 713-731-5335.
