Girl's Santa Letter Leads to Man's Arrest

PHARR, Texas (Dec. 15) - A Texas man has been arrested after a 9-year-old girl wrote to Santa Claus asking that a relative stop touching her and her sister.

The Monitor of McAllen reports that Andres Enrique Cantu, from the town of Pharr, was arrested Friday and is in the Hidalgo County jail.

A criminal complaint says the girl turned the letter in at Cesar Chavez Elementary School. Authorities interviewed the girl after a school counselor reported the letter.

The complaint says investigators believe the molestation occurred over a period of four years.

Cantu is charged with continuous sexual abuse of a young child and could face as many as 99 years in prison if convicted.

Child Molester Gets Three Life Sentences

A 33-year-old man who pleaded guilty to drugging and raping a 10-year-old girl — and videotaping the ordeal — will serve three life sentences in prison, a district court judge ruled Tuesday.

Dusty Shane Snow of Bacliff was in the county jail on misdemeanor charges when his relatives found a video tape among his possessions.

The tape shows Snow forcing a 10-year-old relative to have sex and perform oral sex on him. The tape also shows him touching the girl and taking photos of her.In the video, the girl cries and asks him to let her stop.

The videotape also depicts the girl smoking what investigators said they suspected was methamphetamine.

Snow pleaded guilty to three counts of sexual assault of a child, and 56th District Court Judge Lonnie Cox sentenced him to the life sentences, which is the maximum punishment.
