Illegal Immigrant Charged with Child Sex Abuse at Maryland Church

Ervin Jeovany Alfaro Lopez, previously deported twice, faces multiple charges for abusing girls during church activities.

Ervin Jeovany Alfaro Lopez, an illegal immigrant from El Salvador, has been charged with sexually abusing minors at a Maryland church.
The abuse allegedly occurred between 2014 and 2018, involving at least four girls aged between 6 and 12 during church activities.
Lopez had been previously deported twice and unlawfully re-entered the U.S., with his most recent arrest in Maryland in August 2023.
Investigations suggest there may be more victims, and authorities are urging potential victims to come forward.
Montgomery County Detention Center faced criticism for not cooperating with ICE's request to detain Lopez after his arrest.
