The Harris Count Constable Precinct 6 and the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Department teamed up to arrest a suspected sexual predator.

The suspect, Iran Perez-Bello, 30, is accused of using the Internet to lure a 16-year-old girl into a sexual relationship. 

Investigators said Perez-Bello initially made contact with the girl on a chat site and had been seeing her since late last year.

The girl’s parents on numerous occasions reported that the suspect had taken their daughter from school without permission.  Deputies were able to affirm the pair were together through text messages and phone calls.

When deputies first contacted the suspect, he refused to bring the girl back.  Eventually, he relented and dropped the girl off at home.

Perez-Bello is being held in the Montgomery County jail with a hold by ICE officials because of his immigration status.
