Catarino Chavez II, 60, of Grand Prairie was arrested on Nov. 17 in Dallas. Officials say he had been wanted since May when the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles issued a parole violation warrant for his arrest and in August police issued a warrant for his arrest after he failed to register as a sex offender.
Back in 1998, reports say Chavez was convicted of attempted aggravated sexual assault of a child. He was sentenced to five years of confinement. In 2005, he was also convicted of two counts of aggravated sexual assault of a child and two counts of indecency with a child following incidents involving a 13-year-old and 14-year-old girl.
