US Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials say a 64 year old man from Lawrence has been arrested on 20 counts of sex crimes against a minor.
Gilberto Avila-Jarra was arrested in Lawrence on April 1.
Federal officials say that there are no words to describe the damage Avila-Jarra has done.
Prosecutors say he entered the country in California illegally. It was in December of 2020 that he was charged with a variety of crimes against children.
The District Court refused to honor an ICE detainer and he was released in March of 2021.
He was re-arrested April 1.
