DALLAS (AP) - A Dallas County jailer has been arrested after police say he tried to force a 14-year-old boy to have sex with him.
Thirty-two-year-old Fernando Hernandez was being held at the Dallas County Jail on $75,000 bond on Tuesday morning. He was charged on Sunday with criminal solicitation of a minor.
Police say the boy was walking along a road Sunday night when Hernandez drove up and asked him to have sex. They say the boy refused and Hernandez got out of his car and grabbed the boy’s arm.
The boy tells police he escaped from Hernandez and told a relative what happened. Hernandez tells police he asked the teen for sex but denied touching him.
Online jail records didn’t indicate an attorney for Hernandez.
