A La Paloma man is behind bars after he allegedly had a sexual relationship with a 14-year-old girl.
Cameron County Sheriff’s Department deputies arrested 18-year-old Jose Alberto Guardiana, Jr. on Wednesday.
Court records show the girl’s parents reported it when she didn’t come home from the San Benito Christmas Parade on Monday night.
The girl later told deputies that she met Guardiana at La Paloma Park back in February.
The 14-year-old girl told investigators that she lost her virginity to Guardiana at his Las Cipres Boulevard home back in July.
Court records show that the two left the Christmas parade to have sex in the parking lot of the McDonald’s off Sam Houston Boulevard.
The records show that Guardiana admitted in a videotaped confession to knowing the girl's age and having a sexual relationship with her.
Deputies charged the 18-year-old with continuous sexual abuse of a minor.
The La Paloma man appeared before Cameron County Magistrate Judge Luis Saenz on Thursday morning where he was issued a $50,000 dollar bond.
