Las Cruces Man, 72, Booked on Multiple Criminal Sexual Contact Charges

Allegedly... Raymundo Parra, a 72-year-old resident of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on July 10, 2026. Parra faces five felony counts related to criminal sexual contact of a minor, including both clothed and unclothed allegations. He was arrested at a residence on South Main Street and is currently being held without bond under booking number 2600005478. In New Mexico, criminal sexual contact of a minor is a serious felony classification that involves intentional touching of a victim under the age of 18 for sexual purposes. The charges distinguish between contact made through clothing and direct skin contact, though both are prosecuted as high-level offenses. The arrest location indicates the incident fell under the jurisdiction of local law enforcement in the Las Cruces area. The charges are allegations, and Parra is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
