PHARR, Texas (AP) - A Texas man has been arrested after a
9-year-old girl wrote to Santa Claus asking that a relative stop
touching her and her sister.
The Monitor of McAllen reports that a man from the town of Pharr
was arrested Friday and is in the Hidalgo County jail.
A criminal complaint says the girl turned the letter in at Cesar
Chavez Elementary School. Authorities interviewed the girl after a
school counselor reported the letter.
The complaint says investigators believe the molestation
occurred over a period of four years.
The man is charged with continuous sexual abuse of a young child
and could face as many as 99 years in prison if convicted.
