A Midland man is being held on a $100,000 bond on a first-degree felony of aggravated sexual assault of a child in connection with an incident that occurred on the premises of St. Stephen’s Catholic Church last May, according to Tasa Watts, the city’s public information officer, and the Diocese of San Angelo.
William Jose Velasquez, 26, was arrested March 9 after the parish contacted police and said a young boy had been sexually assaulted, Watts said.
Velasquez is not an employee of the parish nor is he a member of the parish but he sometimes attends Mass there, said Mike Wyse, chancellor of the diocese.
