A man accused of sexually assaulting five children made his initial appearance in 1st District Court on Tuesday.
Fernando Carrillo, 47, faces 11 charges — nine counts of first-degree aggravated sexual abuse of a child and two counts of first-degree attempted rape of a child. The charges were filed against Carrillo on Tuesday.
