A Hamilton County man has been indicted by a Butler County grand jury on multiple sexual abuse charges involving minors, according to court documents.
Jario Isidro Thomas Sanchez, 38, is facing three counts of gross sexual imposition, all third-degree felonies, one count of abduction, a third-degree felony; four counts of unlawful restraint, a third-degree misdemeanor, and six counts of sexual imposition, third-degree misdemeanors.
As of Thursday morning, Sanchez was not booked into the Butler County jail and his court docket listed him as "pending arrest."
Thursday afternoon, the Butler County Sheriff's Office issued a $5,000 reward for any information that leads to the arrest of Sanchez. The sheriff's office said Sanchez was an undocumented person and could have fled the area — or the country — shortly after the crimes he allegedly committed were reported in December.
According to the indictment, the offenses span from incidents that happened between August 2010 and June 2021.
A police report from the Butler County Sheriff's Office lists at least three different female victims, all of which were young girls at the time of the alleged offenses.
According to the police report, officers were called to a home in Butler County on Dec. 18, where the victims alleged Sanchez had sexually touched them. Parents of the victims told police Sanchez was a pastor at the church they attended.
However, according to the police report, Sanchez is also related to the alleged victims and the alleged sexual offenses happened in a home.
The Butler County Sheriff's Office said Sanchez's crimes happened at his former residence in Butler County and "at churches that he was affiliated with in Butler County and Hamilton County."
Butler County Sheriff Richard Jones announced in a live stream on Friday that Sanchez had abused at least five children, though he said he anticipated there could be more victims who haven't yet come forward.
The police report lists a home address for Sanchez in Forest Park.
Anyone with information on Sanchez's whereabouts can contact Sgt. Hensley at 513.785.1258.
