Jail records show man accused of child sex abuse back in El Paso after Colorado arrest

KVIA

EL PASO, Texas (KVIA) -- An El Paso man who had been on the run since being accused of sexually assaulting a child was booked into the jail today.

That’s according to El Paso County Jail records.

Art Blanco was extradited from Colorado and brought to El Paso by Sheriff's Office deputies.

He’s being held on two counts of sexual assault of a child from 1995. The victim previously spoke exclusively to ABC-7 about his 28-year wait for the justice system to catch up with Blanco.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott signed a warrant for his extradition last week.

ABC-7 will continue to follow this story as the court proceedings get underway.
