PHARR, Texas — A 9-year-old girl's letter to Santa Claus asking that a relative stop touching her and her sister has led to the arrest of a 55-year-old Pharr man on charges of continuous sexual abuse of a young child, according to a newspaper report.

Andres Enrique Cantu, 55, of Pharr, remained in the Hidalgo County Jail Monday night after his arrest Friday. His bond was set at $100,000. It wasn't immediately clear if Cantu had an attorney.

The girl wrote the letter Thursday and turned it in at Cesar Chavez Elementary School, The (McAllen) Monitor reported. It wasn't clear whether the letter was for a school assignment.

A probable cause complaint said a counselor at the school reported that the student turned in a wish list to Santa asking that the relative stop touching her and her sister. A day later she was interviewed at the Children's Advocacy Center in Edinburg, which works with abused children, and told authorities about the alleged molestation. Police investigators believe the molestation occurred over a four-year period, according to the complaint.

5 minutes alone, that's all I would need, I swear.

There's just no punishment fitting for people like this. They need to just be dead. PERIOD!

Eurgh... How can some old men compell themselves to abuse innocent little girls? It's despicable :@

Kudos to this school district for taking their mandated reporting seriously.

im glad the school looked into this and figured out what was going on and everything. this man should be raped by someone 10x his size and suffer the same pain for how many years he caused these children to suffer in fear and torture. this man should die by torturous methods. what a sick human being.

i am so glad that the school got his ass locked up. that is just sickening.

There are a lot of pretty messed up and sick people out there. To hurt a child like that...its just sick. Hopefully they'll put his ass away for a long time.
