A Cameron County man is out on bond after being accused of being in an inappropriate relationship with an underage girl who is now pregnant with his child.
Cameron County Sheriff’s Department deputies arrested 25-year-old Sigifredo Galvan on a sexual assault of a child charge on Tuesday.
Court records released on Friday show he had been involved with a romantic relationship with a 15-year-old girl against her mother’s approval.
The now-16-year-old girl told her parents back in January that she was pregnant with Galvan’s child. Doctors later confirmed the teens claims.
Court records show that Galvan told the girl’s mother he was willing to sign a document that he would take care of the girl and their baby.
The mother refused saying she had been trying to keep her and Galvan apart for the past year.
Galvan appeared before Cameron County Magistrate Judge Patricia Edelstein on Wednesday morning where he was issued a $40,000 dollar bond.
Jail records show that Galvan posted bond on Thursday.
Galvan does not appear to have a prior criminal record.
Public record show that Galvan has lived at addresses off Ted Hunt Road in the Los Fresnos area and Monroe Street in Port Isabel.
