An illegal alien from Honduras has been charged with heinous sex crimes against a very young girl in Georgia, authorities say.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) just released the immigration background of 29-year-old Juan Carlos Salvador-Diaz, who was arrested in Marietta on Jan. 30.
Salvador-Diaz is accused of committing sexual battery against a minor on two separate occasions in December 2023 and August 2025, according to an arrest warrant reviewed by the Marietta Daily Journal.
While the victim is listed as being 10 years old, it is unclear how old she was at the time of each alleged attack.
Salvador-Diaz was booked into the Cobb County Adult Detention Center on two counts of felony sexual battery.
Additionally, Immigration and Customs Enforcement has lodged a detainer request with local authorities and is urging them to not release the Honduran back into the community.
“This monster sexually assaulted a 10-year-old girl. We are now asking Georgia authorities to commit to honoring the ICE arrest detainer to ensure this pedophile is not released and able to prey on more innocent children,” said DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin.
“We need cooperation from state and local authorities to turn these types of sickos over to us, so we can get them OUT of our country before they victimize more Americans.”
Salvador-Diaz illegally entered the U.S. in 2019 under circumstances that remain unclear.
