A 25-year-old Austin man is charged with sexually assaulting a teenage boy he met at an Austin nonprofit serving LGBTQ youth.
Both the suspect, Ever Jose Medrano (right), and the victim were clients of the agency, Out Youth, when they met in November 2011. Medrano, a registered sex offender, was 20 at the time, and the victim was 14, according to KEYE-TV.
The victim, who reported the crimes in November 2015, told police Medrano became his mentor and sexually assaulted him over a period of three years. Medrano is charged with sexual assault of a child, a second-degree felony punishable by up to 20 years in prison.

Medrano initially told police that although he slept with the victim, they only “spooned,” but he later admitted to sexual contact.
