Illegal Immigrant Arrested for Indecency With a Child

LONGVIEW — An undercover sting operation conducted by Longview police involving text messages has landed an illegal immigrant behind bars. Sergio Antonio Galacia-Orozco was arrested around 6:30 Tuesday night on charges of indecency with a child and online solicitation. The arrest came after a 15-year-old boy told police that Orozco touched him inappropriately. The reported incident happened Sunday in the 1400 block of Lazy Lane, when the victim said he was walking down the road and was approached by an adult female, who reportedly reached in his shorts during a short conversation. The woman was later identified as a man.

The victim said the man, identified as Orozco, gave the boy his phone number and said his name was “La Chica.” The following day investigators made contact with Orozco through text messages. Police arranged to meet the suspect in the 2600 block of Bill Owens Parkway, where Orozco was then arrested. Police said Orozco admitted to text messaging the person he thought was the victim and to having sexual contact with the victim Sunday. Orozco remained jailed Wednesday on bonds totaling $40,000. He was also placed on an immigration detainer.
