A former El Paso Border Patrol agent has been accused of molesting the underage daughter of another agent eight years ago, court documents and the agent's lawyer said.
Luis Estrella, 42, who was teaching at the Border Patrol Academy in Artesia, N.M., was arrested at his workplace last Friday by Eddy County sheriff's deputies.
His attorney, Gary Weiser, said the charges against his client are "unfounded."
"This is an allegation based on an outcry from the alleged victim who is the daughter of another Border Patrol officer that had made threats against my client eight years ago," Weiser said.
The charges against Estrella are aggravated sexual assault of a child and indecency with a child, according to court documents. The charges are first-degree felonies and carry a maximum sentence of life in prison and up to $10,000 in fines.
According to the indictment, Estrella's accuser was younger than 14 in 1998 when Estrella, then an El Paso Border Patrol agent, allegedly performed oral * on her and touched her genitals.
