Houston authorities are on the hunt for a fugitive charged with two counts of indecency with a child following incidents reported last year in Houston, Texas. Victorino Venegas, the man identified by the Houston Police Department's Special Victims Division and Crime Stoppers, is accused of engaging in sexual contact with minors. The call has gone out to the public for assistance in his apprehension, with a notable sum being offered as an incentive.

Details furnished by Crime Stoppers paint the profile of a man whose presence in a Houston neighborhood culminated in a violation of innocence. On April 23, 2023, in the 5700 block of Brookglen Dr., the accusations arose from Venegas' interactions with children. The investigation unfolded as victims bravely voiced the dark encounters. Venegas stands accused of crossing a line, manifest in inappropriate sexual contact with the children.

Wanted flyers and digital bulletins are broadcasting the image of Victorino Venegas: a Hispanic male, described as 24 years of age with brown eyes and black hair. At 5'5" and 135 pounds, his medium stature and common features may blend easily into the densely woven tapestry of Houston's diverse population, complicating the efforts to spot him.

There's cash on the table for anyone who can deliver justice. Crime Stoppers is prepared to hand over up to $5,000 to whoever can provide information that leads to Venegas's charging and/or arrest. Tips can be whispered via phone call to 713-222-TIPS (8477), keyed silently into the form available at their website, or slipped discreetly through the mobile app—ensuring anonymity and, potentially a payoff, for those acting as conduits to justice.
