The Franklin County Sheriff’s Office announced the arrest of Henry Jimenez-Hernandez, who was wanted in Harris County, Texas, on allegations of continuous sexual abuse of a child under 14.

According to the sheriff’s office, deputies received credible information earlier this week that Jimenez-Hernandez might be in the Chambersburg area. Deputies then began surveillance operations and coordinated with federal partners and law enforcement agencies in Texas.

The sheriff’s office said the effort led to the safe apprehension of Jimenez-Hernandez by Franklin County deputies during the early morning hours of March 18.

Jimenez-Hernandez will be extradited to Texas to face the charges.
