Irving Police have issued an arrest warrant for 42-year-old Rigoberto Santos Torres, a Mexican native who is currently in the United States illegally. His last known address was in Irving.

Police believe Santos Torres is on his way to Mexico, adding that he boarded a bus in Dallas on Wednesday morning.

Santos Torres is wanted on suspicion of “continued sexual abuse of a young child.”
