Illegal Alien Accused of Sexually Abusing 13-Year-Old Girl in Maryland

An illegal alien from Glen Burnie, Maryland, is accused of sexually assaulting a 13-year-old girl he came into contact with on the job as a church transport van driver and being in possession of child pornography according to police, Breitbart reports.

Jose Argueta, a 44-year-old illegal alien from El Salvador, and married with three children, was arrested by the Annapolis Police Department after he allegedly sexually abused a 13-year-old girl on four separate occasions and allegedly took sexually explicit photos of the child.

According to Annapolis Sgt. Amy Miguez, the illegal alien drove a church van that transported the victim and her family to their Glen Burnie, Maryland, church.

Argueta has been charged with 19 counts of sexual abuse of a child and child pornography. A judge has denied Argueta bail and he is currently being held at the Jennifer Road Detention Center.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials have asked that Argueta be turned over to them for arrest and deportation should he be released at any time from police custody.

“That’s how [the victim] first met him,” Miguez told local media.

“He began texting with her and arranged for some meetings, at which point he sexually assaulted her,” Miguez said.

“It was obvious that there was a lot of information confirming that this had happened and also photographs, unfortunately, pornographic images of this child,” Miguez said.
