A 53 year old man has been charged with rape of a child from almost four years ago.

Pablo Jacinto was arrested last Wednesday, May 5 at a residence on Atnip Street. He is under a $125,000 bond and will make an appearance in General Sessions Court on May 20.

According to the warrant, Jacinto had sexual contact with his girlfriend’s daughter, who was 8 years old at the time touching her private parts resulting in penetration. This occurred several times over a period of months starting in September, 2017. The child was later removed from the home.

The case was investigated by Detective Brandon Donnell of the Smithville Police Department.
