DECATUR, Texas — A Decatur man has been arrested on a charge of sexual assault of a child, according to the Decatur Police Department.

On Sept. 4, Fernando Escobar, 42, was taken into custody. Escobar was being held on a $20,000 bond but has since posted bail, according to jail records.

Police said the arrest stems from allegations made more than a decade ago while Escobar was working as an athletic trainer.

Authorities said the victim was a minor at the time of the alleged incident, and their identity is being withheld. Detectives believe there may be additional victims or witnesses who have not yet come forward.

Police are urging anyone with information to contact the Decatur PD's Criminal Investigations Division. The investigation remains ongoing.
