Sanchez is in the U.S. illegally and indications are that he fled the area, and possibly the country, shortly after the crimes were first reported in 2022, according to detectives. The Butler County Sheriff’s Office is offering a $5,000 reward for any information that leads to the arrest of Sanchez. Anyone with information is encouraged to contact Sgt. Ryan Hensley at 513-785-1258.
The Butler County Sheriff’s Office began an investigation in December 2022 at a Lemon Twp. residence when the parents of three alleged victims reported Sanchez had sexually touched children, ages 15 and younger.
Assistant Butler County Prosecutor Lindsay Sheehan said the indictment reflects a continuous course of action in both counties while Sanchez was a pastor in the Hispanic community in Hamilton County. It involves alleged crimes against five victims younger than 16.
The gross sexual imposition indictment alleges sexual contact was with a person younger than 13. According to the indictment the alleged crimes happened between January 2013 and December 2022.
The case is assigned to Butler County Common Pleas Judge Michael Oster Jr.
