El Paso, TX (KFOX14/CBS4) — Clemente Galvez-Alapisco, a 47-year-old man from the Mexican state of Sinaloa, was arrested for illegal re-entry into the United States for the third time, following multiple deportations and a conviction for sexually assaulting a child.
According to the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), Galvez-Alapisco was apprehended on criminal charges related to his re-entry after having been deported twice previously. His most recent deportation occurred on June 28, 2022. The DOJ revealed that Galvez-Alapisco was convicted in the past for indecency with a child, a charge stemming from his history of criminal offenses.
In addition to the charges for sexual assault, Galvez-Alapisco had been convicted in July 2019 for illegal re-entry into the U.S. and was sentenced to five months and 11 days in prison at that time.
This new case, involving his third re-entry, could result in a 10-year prison sentence if he is convicted, with sentencing determined by a federal district court judge. The judge will take into account U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other relevant factors in deciding the final sentence.
The U.S. Border Patrol is continuing to investigate the case.
