Alejandro Tellez, a 26-year-old man from Illinois, is wanted by U.S. Marshals for the sexual assault of two young girls in Wisconsin and Indiana. Tellez allegedly connected with the girls online, met up with them, and sexually assaulted them, with one victim becoming pregnant.

Why it matters

This case highlights the dangers of online predators targeting minors and the need for vigilance by parents and law enforcement to protect vulnerable children. Tellez's alleged crimes across state lines also demonstrate the challenges in tracking down and apprehending suspects who are willing to flee across jurisdictions.

The details

According to authorities, Tellez was first charged after allegedly chatting with a 13-year-old girl in Brookfield, Wisconsin, meeting up with her, sexually assaulting her, and recording the incident. Around the same time, investigators say Tellez was also chatting with a girl in Indiana and drove there to assault her as well.

  • Last winter, Tellez initially fled to Mexico after the crimes came to light.
  • Authorities believe Tellez has since returned to the Midwest and is still at large.
