Central Texas Man Charged With Sexually Assaulting a Child Save Email Print

A | A | A

(November 29, 2008) – A 20-year-old Gatesville man is in Coryell County Jail charged in the sexual assault of an 11-year-old girl.

Nicanor Olvera Delacruz is held in lieu of $50,000 bond following his arrest earlier in November.

Police initially were dispatched to a home on North 15th Street, in Gatesville, on a report of a runaway.

Subsequent investigation at the scene led police to believe the 11-year-old there actually had been sexually assaulted.

After further investigation, Delacruz was arrested at his home without incident.

what is the best way to get revenge on the girl's family to get back for turning the guy in????? Annonymously post a stupid comment saying you are the mother or other family member.....and you guys fell for it. So sad...so pitiful. Apologies would be nice.

Posted by: anonymous Location: Austin on Dec 2, 2008 at 02:54 PM
Is this guy an illegal alien? That would be my first question.

Posted by: LN Location: Robinson on Dec 2, 2008 at 01:26 PM
Race? Doesn't matter. What matters is did he do it? When and if he is convicted give him everything the law allows, maximum punishment. Begin to deal with these predators in a public and harsh way and I bet it all but stops. Being coddled in prison doesn't seem to work.

I'm pretty sure alot of you ppl already know, gville is know for drugs, but also for all the little tramps running around droppin their pants for every tom dick and harry out there.these little girls start out 12 and are dating 20 yr olds. If they're not pregnant then they are have had a miscarraige or abortion.I have tried to talk to some of the parents ,but they blow me off,thinkin I have no idea what i'm talkin about.ASK YOURSELF DO I REALLY KNOW WHAT MY CHILD IS DOING,I BET YOU DONT,YOU WILL BE SURPRISED .I WAS!!I HAVE ONE A 14 YR OLD AND WAS SHOCKED TO FIND OUT WHAT I DID .

Posted by: Anonymous Location: Temple on Dec 2, 2008 at 12:40 PM
Mother in Gatesville: if you are the real mother you should clear up what really happened for everyone. If you're the same person who posted before and are just trying to cover your butt I feel REALLY sorry for you. I think it's sick to say your daughter was basically at fault. YOU should not have allowed her to think sexual activity was okay at 11 years old. Why was she even "seeing" someone at 11? We tell our kids they can't date until they're 30, lol!! We joke but it's a very serious issue in our house. You start to date when you are ready to get married.

Well I think we can all agree on one thing. Life sentences for sex offenders, death penalty to child molesters?

sicko!!! send him back to mexico!!!

Posted by: mother Location: gatesville on Dec 2, 2008 at 07:43 AM
I am the mother of the girl that was molested .I dont know who would put that comment anonymous stating they are the mother.To let everyone know I did not consent to what happened.I do not know who would post that comment saying those things.I did not post that comment and to who did, they are the sicko.

Posted by: Jess Location: Killeen on Dec 2, 2008 at 12:42 AM
Ok ya'll, race on this part is NOT THE ISSUE HERE! WAKE UP AND SMELL THE FOLGERS! I bet if this was a black man...many of you would be like "Oh my gosh, why is it always a black person...", or if it was a white man, "Oh my goodness, it seems like it is always a white person doing this!". Creeps of every race...green, purple, or polka dotted do this crime in Texas and across the world. The main factor is that the little girl is ok and this person be put to jail and receive the ultimate punishment for his crime. Stop with the race crap and labeling things because it is getting OLD! Thanks for your time.

News Flash!!! He's not A Central Texas Man..he is an illegal from Mexico!WSe have less than zero enforcement in Central Texas!

to anonymous, what if she got pregnaut? Did you ever think of that? Your daughter is only 11 years old; Mothers should be protecting their daughters from people like him; I hope the CPS gets involve and take any other kids you may have away until you learn how to be a mother; makes me wonder, what are you getting in return letting your daughter see a 20 year old? Hmmm!

Posted by: LC Location: Hewitt on Dec 1, 2008 at 10:17 PM
To anonymous at 3:59, dec 1, How could you say your daughter at the age of 11 was not being molested?! Any child at that age is not old enough to consent to sex! You are a frigging idiot!! For allowing this to happen, you are just as sick and guilty as the child molester! Charges should be brought against you as well! How could you not protect your child? My daughter is almost 13, I know where she is at all times and would never allow her to be around any sicko like that. It sounds like you let her be involved in a really sick enviroment! What a lousy parent!

Posted by: Rose Location: Belton on Dec 1, 2008 at 09:48 PM
Ralph-- I have researched this and have not found any data to substantiate your claim. I would encourage you to post the statistics and site where you got them from. Quite frankly I find your comment racist. To directly correlate a heinous crime like child molestation to a specific race whatever race it maybe is ignorant and irresponsible.

Posted by: Big Red Dude Location: Waco on Dec 1, 2008 at 08:22 PM
To the mom: you are a SORRY, SORRY excuse for a mother. Don't have anymore kids.

Posted by: Re Location: Waco on Dec 1, 2008 at 08:20 PM
Wow...ok, Mom brought some clarity to the table. However, the girl is only 11! "She knew what she was doing was wrong"..ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! Your statement doesn't justify anything! She is a KID. He is an ADULT! He has 9 years on her. He IS a pedophile. They prey on young girls, manipulate them, and try to make them feel guilty for not doing what they want. How you could make it out to be "ok" makes me sick to my stomache. And how do you know he didn't threaten her? In my opinion, your daughter is obviously lacking something at home for her to be "seeing" this MAN in the first place. Or, maybe you just dont want to face the fact that a bad thing happened to your child..you all need help. God bless that little girl is all I have left to say.

Posted by: anonymous Location: gatesville on Dec 1, 2008 at 03:59 PM "I happen to be the mother of the girl that this happened to. First of all, she was not molested like they put it. She had been seeing this guy for a while.She knows what she was doing was wrong, but she did it anyway. She is doing just fine. If she didnt get caught she would still be seeing him." If you are her mother and you knew this was going on YOU should be in jail. You are the one who is supposed to know right from wrong where your child is concerned NOT her. Great parenting skills mom. Hope you dont have more kids for us to worry about.

Posted by: Patriot Location: Texas on Dec 1, 2008 at 07:01 PM
Yeah, I too wish people would do research (current statistics) and not throw something out here like Ellison's 10 yr old study of 3000 "admitted" child molesters. Try looking at Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) records that say there's at least 240,000 illegal immigrant sex offenders here which they average to be about 95 crossing the border EACH DAY. If you've never been to a 3rd world and seen young female abuse first hand, then you don't know and are commenting blindly. Child molesters are the lowest scum on earth and need to be castrated, then hung!!! Yes, they're in every race, but many low class male-dominated cultures are more tolerant of these very sick actions. That's not "new" news folks......

Posted by: John Location: Waco on Dec 1, 2008 at 05:35 PM
You have to be kidding me. Do you have numbers to back up that claim? Because most of the child sexual assaults I see locally are usually dirty scrungy old white men

Posted by: Ralph Eshter on Dec 1, 2008 at 04:40 PM
To assign race is not heinous, in fact it seems very fitting. It is fitting because if you bother to follow the Central Texas indictments most of the people forcing sexual relations upon children are indeed hispanic. Feel free to research it yourself. I am sure that most hispanic people will have issue with this but the facts are just that. Fact. I personally agree with other like minded individuals. It is sad but also a fact. In the southern states hispanics truly rule the roost of child molestation. Doubt me? Check it out for yourself. You'll be embarassed..

Posted by: Imagine Location: Waco on Dec 1, 2008 at 04:38 PM
They say that they can not help it and that it is a sickness. Well, I say we treat perverts like rabid dogs. First time they are found guilty put them down.

Posted by: An American "Hispanic" Location: Waco on Dec 1, 2008 at 04:19 PM
To "Curt": "Blight" called hispanic? what about all the "white" rapists and serial murderer's, give me a break! Hispanics aren't a blight you putz, child molesters are! The color of their skin shouldn't make a difference, they should, like anonymous said, post "child molester" on their forehead and throw them in prison. This crime is not acceptable anywhere! Family and friends from Mexico would have no problem staking his butt to an anthill if this was done to one of their kids. Me personally, I'd be cutting his you know what off and putting it in a blender never to be reattached again. The color of anyone's skin shouldn't matter, that an innocent child (again, color should not be an issue) was hurt this way is inconceivable! Hang the SOB, mexican, black or white!

Posted by: anonymous Location: gatesville on Dec 1, 2008 at 03:59 PM
I happen to be the mother of the girl that this happened to. First of all, she was not molested like they put it. She had been seeing this guy for a while.She knows what she was doing was wrong, but she did it anyway. She is doing just fine. If she didnt get caught she would still be seeing him.

Posted by: me Location: gatesville on Dec 1, 2008 at 03:58 PM
Im so sick of people thinking that only mexicans do this to our littleones,we read and hear on the news every day, of priests, priechers, teachers and what about sexual abuse of men and women, what about the enchorwoman who was sexual abused and was killed, this is happening everwhere SEXUAL ABUSE IS SEXUAL ABUSE no matter what the age, color or nationality, and he or she needs to pay for what they did.

Posted by: John E. Location: Salado, TX on Dec 1, 2008 at 02:40 PM
The comedian Dennis Miller says there is a very easy, non-technical way to keep track of child molesters. It is called, "burial".

Posted by: George Location: Temple on Dec 1, 2008 at 02:01 PM
All I can say is if this happened to my kid, they would have been putting him in the ground not the jail...

Posted by: Rose Location: Belton on Dec 1, 2008 at 11:25 AM
To assign race to this heinous crime is unacceptable. To that poster who claims this is acceptable in Mexico. Get your head out your butt! I agree it doesn't matter what color the perp is he should be punished severly. For those folks who think Hispanics lead the nation or Texas in sexual crimes they need to do some research before they post such racist remarks.

I think what he did is horrible he should be locked for life, but for you prejiduce people out there , I see on the news alot of and i mean alot of high class white men who held high positions who have been caught molesting children and with child porn. It's not just hispanics it's anyone who has a sick mind , race doesn't matter. So quit trying to make it racial just see it as it is , a sick man molested a poor little girl . I think they should put him in room and let her family at him. hispanic , black , yellow , or white they should all be punished the same.

Posted by: hadnuff on Dec 1, 2008 at 06:29 AM
fact is if he is illegal this was 100% preventable if the laws were enforced. nuff said

I think this man is very sick.This poor girl has to live wirh this for the rest of her life.She also has to be able to get used to trusting people again.I sure hope this little girl will be fine due to this man doing what he done to her.i hope he doesn't get a bond set.Someone should do what he has done to that little girl and her family.I will pray for this little girl and her family.god bless you'll.

Posted by: Re Location: Waco on Nov 30, 2008 at 08:30 PM
I am so sick of of the fact that every time a situation, this one for example, comes about, race is ALWAYS the first thing pointed out. Who cares? The fact of this matter is a child had her innocence taken away and she is scarred for life. This man needs to not have a bond set and should be casterated. Wouldn't it be great if we could have a zero tolerance law for pedophiles? One strike and you're out? No bond? No second chances to do this again? Only in a perfect world...I am praying for this child and her family. I also pray for this man: that he gets what he deserves.

Posted by: Steven Location: Waco on Nov 30, 2008 at 08:21 PM
You people are pathetic. I agree. Way too many hispanic men are preying on our innocent children. I don't know about the rest of the country, but here in Texas hispanics lead in sexual assault on minors. I think it is awful..

Posted by: hadnuff on Nov 30, 2008 at 04:48 PM
just another sign of things to come. odds are he is illegal. this is acceptable behavior in their 'home' country and they are pushing their agenda on our country to make it acceptable here too. Just some more of that "change" to come.

Posted by: no name Location: central texas on Nov 30, 2008 at 01:40 PM
This guy was arrested on Nov 22nd. Why is it just now making the news? It doesn't matter what race you are, sexually assulting a child is against the law. I can guarantee that if this had ever happend to my child, the guy in question would never have made it to being arrested, cause I would be on trial for murder in the first degree.

Posted by: Anna Location: Waco on Nov 30, 2008 at 11:51 AM
Curt posted: And of course he is a Mexican. ...molesters are hispanic? What gives? ___________________________________ Its part of the lower class 3rd world culture. It is not considered deviant behavior the way 1st worlders consider it. Unfortunately, it is not limited to hispanics. Young girl rape is a norm in other developing contries because of their dim view of the value of females. Usually girls are condsidered fair game starting at about 8-yrs old. In those cultures it would be deviant to rape a 4-year old, for example.

Posted by: El Diablo Location: Hell on Nov 30, 2008 at 11:45 AM
You'd be surprised and sickened by the number of registered sex offenders who live and work all around us. It's all there on the texas sex offender web site. Even tells where they work. What's most amazing is the number of "high" risk people who are out among us. Keep your doors locked and your guns loaded.

Posted by: Daniela Location: Gatesville on Nov 30, 2008 at 10:30 AM
These people are sick no matter the color of their skin. I see this everyday at work. I work at the prison. And sure enough they will be back out to do the same thing. WHY? They need to spend the rest of their life behind bars.

Posted by: jim Location: Iraq on Nov 30, 2008 at 09:52 AM
I dont think it has anything to do with race but thank god the girl is alwright and the guy is in jail for now (later returned to his native country)or just set free to return on his on without a S.card

http://www.childmolestationprevention.org/pages/tell_others_the_facts.html Caucasian 79% 72% Hispanic/Latin-American 9% 11% African-American 6% 12% Asian 1% 4% Native American 3% 1% For example, Caucasians comprise 79% of all convicted child molesters out of 72% of the population. What do these statistics compute out too? Merely that all men and women ARE created pretty much equal. God told us that a long time ago, yet some still don't get it.

Posted by: Anonymous on Nov 30, 2008 at 01:59 AM
I say, stamp "CHILD MOLESTER" on their forehead and turn them out in the general prison population. Everyone here knows what happens to child molesters in prison, they dont fare too well @ all!

Posted by: Anonymous on Nov 30, 2008 at 01:57 AM
Anyone that sexually assaults a child should be castrated,and locked up for a long long time, and I dont care what race they are...

Posted by: Casey Location: Harker Heighs on Nov 30, 2008 at 12:12 AM
You are not only a racist, white trash (or black) person, for sure you live in a trailer park and a hispanic keep your job. By the way, pedophiles make me sick no matter if they are hispanic or not, they will pay for this crime any time. Have you noticed before how many not hispanic people commit crimes?.

Posted by: Curt Location: Waco on Nov 29, 2008 at 07:13 PM
And of course he is a Mexican. Has anyone else noticed that while not all are, MOST child molesters are hispanic? What gives? I see SO many stories about pedophiles in the news and MOST are hispanic..... weird. By the way, don't bother preaching to me about being racist... I could seriously care less. I am sick of this blight on children called hispanics.
