A Laredo, Texas, man’s trial in Riley County District Court began Tuesday with jury selection in a case charging him with sex crimes against three people.
Police arrested Abel Gutierrez Jr., 35, last January after extradition from Laredo for a warrant issued by Riley County in 2023. He is charged with two counts of aggravated sexual battery and two counts of sexual battery.
The warrant and arrest are connected to events in July 2022. A complaint filed with the court said Gutierrez touched three people born in 2003, 2002 and 1988 without their consent.
