Man accused of sexually assaulting underage girl for at least 3 years

HOUSTON – A man accused of sexually assaulting an underage girl for at least three years is on the run and authorities need your help to find him, according to the Harris County Sheriff's Office.

Celso Jaimes, 33, is charged with two counts of sexual assault of a child.

Deputies said Jaimes forced the teenage girl to have sex with him for a period of at least three years. After interviewing the victim and a witness, investigators gathered enough evidence for the Harris County District Attorney's Office to charge Jaimes.

KPRC2 spoke with the girl's mother earlier this month after she made a plea on social media to find Jaimes.

The girl's mother's sister found something on Jaimes' phone and told her.

"Mostly, they were stills, but he did make videos," the child's mother said. "Pictures of my daughter and him doing stuff that they're not supposed to be doing. They were very explicit, they're very detailed."

When the child's mother confronted Jaimes, she said he left and has not been heard from since.

"All he told me was, 'I'm sorry. I (messed) up.' Those were his answers to me, and I just lost it. I completely
lost it," she said.

Jaimes lives in the 1500 block of Little York in north Harris County. A warrant has been issued for his arrest.

Jaimes is a Hispanic man, about 6 feet 2 inches tall and weighing around 245 pounds. He has black hair that may be shaved to his scalp.

Anyone with information about Jaimes is asked to the call the Harris County Sheriff's Office Child Abuse unit at 713-830-3250.

Crime Stoppers will pay up to $5,000 for information leading to the charging and/or arrest of the suspect in this case.
