Juan Pablo Acosta Extradited From Canada to Hays County, Held Without Bond

Cross-border approvals enabled U.S. Marshals to return him to Texas custody.

Overview

  • Acosta was booked into the Hays County Jail on Oct. 29 after his extradition from Canada.
  • He faces about 30 sexual assault warrants stemming from a Buda Police investigation completed in November 2021.
  • Authorities learned he was living in Toronto, which required federal court approval involving U.S., Mexican, and Canadian authorities.
  • Canadian authorities arrested him on June 27, 2025, on unrelated charges, creating the opening for his transfer to Texas.
  • He was first arrested in Buda on July 13, 2021, on two counts of second-degree felony sexual assault, then released within 48 hours on a reported $103,500 bond.
