A Katy man who prosecutors say sexually assaulted two teenage males while serving as a volunteer at a church several years ago turned himself in Wednesday, Waller County authorities said.
Nilson Daniel Vargas, 39, was volunteering at the Christian City Fellowship, a church in Sealy, when he allegedly engaged in a sexual act with a 16-year-old boy in the child’s home in Waller County in December 2008, according to an arrest warrant issued last week. The alleged victim told authorities that Vargas had also sexually molested him at the church, among other locations, and that the incidents began when he was 13, the warrant states.
The warrant states that another church member recently alleged “sexual assault of a child by this defendant while the defendant was back at the same church.” A press release from the Waller County district attorney identifies the second alleged victim as a young male.
“We believe that there are other victims out there,” said First Assistant District Attorney Warren Diepraam, adding that the alleged victims told Waller County authorities that incidents also occurred in neighboring counties. “We hope that this public appeal will get some of those folks to come forward.”
