Illegal migrant child predator on the run in Houston after groping kids going to school

An illegal migrant convicted child predator who was inexplicably let go by ICE last year is on the run in Texas after he allegedly groped a 7-year-old girl two weeks ago.

Carlos Jose Ayala Morales, who served seven years in prison for his past perverted offenses, is now accused of inappropriately touching a young girl as she was walking near Travis Elementary School in a quiet Houston neighborhood on Jan. 27, according to KHOU 11.

The 43-year-old Honduran illegal migrant was later seen on surveillance video fleeing the scene and identified by cops who say this isn’t his offense, according to the local news outlet.

Morales was locked up in 2018 after he allegedly groped children between the ages of 7 and 15 in 10 separate incidents as they walked in and out of school.

In one instance, the creep tried to kidnap a 7-year-old girl who was walking home from school, trying to force her into the back seat of his car. The victim’s 9-year-old brother jumped in and yelled at Morales, forcing him to put the child down and speed away.

Morales was later nabbed and sentenced to seven years in prison. He was handed over to ICE last year, but was let go for an unknown reason.

Morales’ latest alleged victim confirmed his identity after viewing surveillance video, Woodland Heights mom Holly Roemisch told KHOU 11 Tuesday.

“When the police released his name and identity, it was great to be able to put a name with a face — but now we need to be able to put ‘arrested’ underneath that release,” Roemisch said.

A spokesperson for ICE didn’t immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.

Cops are now offering a $5,000 reward for Morales’ arrest.
