Kyle man arrested for sex assault of a child

Sanchez Castillo


An undocumented Kyle man was charged with two counts of aggravated sexual assault of a child after authorities allege he abused a minor in 2012.


Luis-Gerardo Sanchez Castillo, 57, of Kyle, was booked into the Hays County Jail May 5. An Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detainer was also issued for Sanchez Castillo, according to Hays County Jail records 


According to an affidavit, magistrated by Hays County Pct. 2 Justice of the Peace Beth Smith, a Hays County detective was assigned to the case on Feb. 13, 2018. 


The investigation centered on a forensic interview conducted with the victim, who was 10 years old at the time. 


According to the interview, the victim said she and Castillo were in his vehicle near his residence on Goforth Road in September 2012 when he began to touch her leg. According to the affidavit, Castillo then went on to sexually assault the victim. It is unknown at this time if the victim had any relation to Castillo. 


The officer presented a photo of Castillo to the victim and she was able to identify him. 


Castillo is being held in the Hays County Jail on $200,000 bond.
