The search is on for a 44-year old Waco man tried in absentia on child molestation charges. Felix Humberto Alvarez cannot be formally sentenced until he is brought to 54th District Court, but faces between 50 and 130 years in prison, depending on whether the judge decides to allow him to serve his sentences concurrently or if he stacks them. Alvarez had faced two counts of aggravated sexual assault and three counts of indecency with a child. A jury recommended 20 years and 50 years on the seual assault charges and 20, 20 and 10 on the indecency charges. Alvarez was not present for his trial, possibly leaving his attorney on the hook for his $150-thouand dollar bond and any other charges, including transportation, should he be found and brought back to face the charges. Alvarez was a legal resident of the U.S., but is a native of El Salvador. One of his friends says he was taken to a bus station and said he was headed to the border.
