Southside Place police are seeking the public’s help in locating a homeless man with a criminal past who is suspected of sexually assaulting a 12-year-old girl inside the CVS Pharmacy at Bellaire Boulevard and Stella Link Road Oct. 16.

Surveillance video offered clear images of the man, but ABC-13 reported that it was a rape kit that linked 27-year-old Christopher Barillas to the assault, which took place in a women’s restroom to which he had reportedly lured the girl. He is charged with aggravated sexual assault of a child but has not been located, according to the report.

Anyone with information about Barillas or his whereabouts is urged to call Southside Place Police at 713-668-2341.
