BELTSVILLE, Md. — A convicted sex offender is now pleading guilty to illegally reentering the United States for at least the fourth time.
In September 2024 federal agents learned that 64-year-old Bayron Leopoldo Perez Batres had returned to Beltsville, Maryland.
At the time he was being arrested for sexually abusing a minor, a crime he pleaded guilty to one year later and was sentenced to 25 years in prison for.
Shortly afterwards, federal prosecutors hit Perez Batres with one count of Illegal Reentry after Previous Deportation.
"He has been previously removed to Guatemala on three separate occasions – in January 1996, September 2009, and May 2010," DOJ said in a press release.
Perez Batres will be sentenced for that offense on October 20, after which he's likely to be deported yet again.
