Authorities in Texas have charged a Mexican national with sexually abusing young children while working as a barber in Montgomery County, near Houston. Jose Luis Briseno, 49, is accused of multiple instances of sexual abuse against two unnamed minors, according to court documents. The alleged incidents occurred in November at locations including the Porter Barber Shop in New Caney.
One of the alleged victims reported that Briseno assaulted her on three occasions, starting at the barber shop while she waited to have her hair cut. She also claimed he threatened her family with a firearm to keep her silent and offered her cash as hush money.
The same day, Briseno reportedly continued the abuse at a nearby home, enticing the girl with the promise of a toy. Later, he allegedly transported several children from the residence to his house, ostensibly to purchase batteries for their new toys. There, he reportedly abused the first victim again, filming the incident, and then a second child under similar pretenses.
Authorities say Briseno fled to Louisiana after committing these acts and allegedly stealing significant funds from his family’s business. He has since been arrested and extradited to Texas, where he is currently in custody. The National Pulse has previously reported that Lousiana approved voluntary surgical castration for those convicted of pedophilia.
Homeland Security admits that Briseno entered the United States illegally in 2004 and was involved in a domestic assault case in 2014 in San Antonio. After serving a short jail sentence and being fined, he was transferred to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). He was later released on bond by an immigration judge despite his initial illegal entry into the country.
