A Texas man...really? He will be gone long before his hearing. How many more of these cases are out there...and the left still bristles at the word "invasion" when that is exactly what it is.

 

Texas man faces child trafficking charges, accused of forcing a 15-year-old Guatemalan girl to work at a restaurant to pay off a $10,000 debt she incurred to be smuggled into the U.S., authorities said Tuesday.

The Tarrant County Sheriff’s Office said the teen was rescued at a fast-food restaurant in Southlake – about 20 miles north of Fort Worth – while she was working the night shift.

The sheriff's office said the teen complained about her situation to a friend ,who notified police. The Southlake Police Department opened an investigation with assistance from the TCSO Human Trafficking Unit, CBS DFW reported.

Investigators discovered that a suspect, 36-year-old Cesar Valdez-Perez, was picking the teen up and dropping her off at the restaurant while pretending to be her father. The restaurant employees reportedly never became suspicious because her documents were well forged.

Valdez-Perez was arrested on charges of child trafficking and forging government documents, Fort Worth's KXAS-TV reported.

 

Valdez-Perez was booked into the Tarrant County Jail and released on bond. Federal immigration agents immediately took him into custody after he was freed, the sheriff's chief of staff told The Dallas Morning News.

The Tarrant County Sheriff's Office did not immediately respond to Fox News' request for comment.
