LAREDO, Tex. (KGNS) -A man who was convicted of sex crimes against children in Chicago is caught by local agents.
The incident happened on Nov. 27 when agents apprehended a group of eight undocumented individuals near the Riverhill subdivision who were in the U.S. illegally.
One of the individuals was a Mexican National who was identified as 36-year-old Oscar Melgoza-Barajas.
Record checks revealed that Melgoza-Barajas had been convicted of aggravated sexual assault of a child under 13 back in 2004 in Chicago, Il.
He was sentenced to six and a half years in prison.

Melgoza-Barajas is being criminally charged for his immigration violations and will be remanded into the custody of the U.S. Marshals.
