BEXAR COUNTY, Texas — A man was arrested and accused of sexually assaulting three young girls for years, BCSO says.
Bexar County Sheriff's Office deputies arrested 68-year-old Nicholas Espinoza Thursday evening.
Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar says the girls reported the abuse by Espinoza to their guardian years ago, but nothing was done after their outcries.
Espinoza is accused of abusing one girl for as long as eight years. The sheriff says he is also in favor of charging the guardian for not reporting the abuse.
The girls have since been removed from that person's home.
This is a developing situation and further details will be added as they are received.
