The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office, in partnership with the U.S. Marshal’s Fugitive Task Force in Louisiana, has arrested 49-year-old Jose Luis Briseno, who is charged with the sexual assault of multiple children under the age of 13.
Briseno, who allegedly stole several thousand dollars from his family’s business to evade prosecution, has a documented history with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and is confirmed to be in the United States illegally.
He was apprehended in Louisiana and will be extradited to Texas, where he will be held at the Montgomery County Jail on a $250,000 bond.
This arrest was the result of a collaborative effort between the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office Special Victims Unit, the Montgomery County District Attorney’s Office, the U.S. Marshals Service, and law enforcement agencies in the New Orleans area. Children’s Safe Harbor, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting victims of child abuse, also played a critical role in the investigation.
The investigation is ongoing as detectives continue their work to ensure all aspects of the case are addressed.
