Abraham Molina, 44, was arrested by the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office on charges of indecency with a child by sexual contact and aggravated sexual assault of a child. The arrest comes as authorities investigate a series of alleged child sex assaults in the Conroe area.
Former Church Worker Arrested for Child Sexual Assault in Montgomery County
Molina, who previously worked in churches in Tomball and Magnolia and may have volunteered in youth ministry, is accused of inappropriately touching an 8-year-old boy in Conroe in late 2024. The incident allegedly occurred when the child’s caregiver briefly left the room.
Upon Molina’s arrest, detectives discovered several past sexual assault reports involving him. These reports suggest multiple juvenile male victims of similar ages, all reportedly abused in a comparable manner.
Ongoing Investigation After Former Church Worker Charged with Child Sex Crimes
The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office believes there may be additional victims, with potential incidents dating back to the early 2000s, particularly between 2006 and 2007. Molina, who had been working as a residential real estate agent, is currently held in the Montgomery County Jail.
Call for Information
Authorities are urging anyone with information related to this case to contact the Special Victim’s Unit at (936) 760-5876, referencing case number 25A00569. The investigation remains active as detectives work to uncover the full extent of the alleged crimes.
As the case unfolds, questions remain about why charges were not filed in the earlier reported cases. Eyewitness News has reached out to both detectives and Molina’s attorney for additional information, but responses are pending.
