EL PASO, Texas - El Paso Police officers arrested a Guatemalan national who allegedly attempted to sexually assault a fellow Guatemalan
housed by the Annunciation House at a local motel.
Police said the suspect was identified by U.S. Border Patrol officials as 23-year-old Francisco Tojin Maldonado.
Police said the suspect's son was turned over to Border Patrol custody.
Maldonado allegedly entered a room at the Budget Inn Motel, located at 5634 Paisano,
and attempted to sexually assault the woman at 9:14 a.m. on January 8, 2018.
Police said the investigation revealed the victim, lodged by the Annunciation House shelter at the motel,
was bathing her child when she saw Maldonado, a person unknown to her, in the room.
The woman said the door to her room had been left unlocked so that volunteer workers could freely walk in and out of the room.
Maldonado was told to leave, but he allegedly surprised the victim by groping her under her clothing
and pressed himself onto her in a lewd manner, police said.
As volunteers responded to the victim's screams, Maldonado allegedly fled on foot.
Police officers were then directed to Maldonado's room, where he was lodged along with his six-year-old son.
Police said Maldonado was uncooperative with the officers and refused to identify himself.
He was booked into the El Paso County Detention Facility on a $30,000 bond.
Police said Maldonado was charged with Burglary of Habitation because he attempted to commit a felony.
