EDINBURG, Texas – A Hidalgo County judge found Enoe Reyes, 42, of Edinburg, guilty of two counts of Indecency with a Child by Sexual Contact and sentenced Reyes to 30 years in prison.
On December 20, 2023, the Hidalgo County Sheriff’s Office was dispatched in reference to an indecency with a child by sexual contact involving Reyes. Throughout the course of the investigation, it was discovered that Reyes sexually abused a 13-year-old minor and a 14-year-old minor. Both children were interviewed by a forensic interviewer and underwent sexual assault examinations where the children made consistent outcries detailing the sexual abuse by Reyes.
On June 10, 2024, 206th District Court Judge Rose G. Reyna sentenced Reyes to 15 years on one count of Indecency with a Child by Sexual Contact in reference to the 13-year-old minor and 15 years on an additional count of Indecency with a Child by Sexual Contact in reference to the 14-year-old minor. The court ordered that both sentences run consecutively for a total prison sentence of 30 years.
“The Defendant’s actions are unacceptable and heinous and required a punishment commensurate with the crime,” said Hidalgo County District Attorney Toribio “Terry” Palacios.
The charges are the result of an investigation conducted by the Hidalgo County Sheriff’s Office.
The case was prosecuted by Special Crimes Assistant District Attorney Ricardo Hernandez.
