SIERRA VISTA — A 35-year-old Sierra Vista man was arrested by city police Wednesday on a felony child molestation charge involving a 12-year-old boy.

The judge did not set a bond for Michael J. Hernandez, who remains in the Cochise County Jail, said spokeswoman Carol Capas of the Cochise County Sheriff’s Office. A hearing is scheduled for April 21 at Justice of the Peace District 5 Court in Sierra Vista.

The investigation began March 19 when the boy alleged he’d been sexually molested by Hernandez at a home in the 1400 block of Bella Vista Drive, police said.

The charge is a Class 2 felony. Hernandez turned himself in at the Sierra Vista police station at about 4:30 p.m.

Hernandez

Police Sgt. Butch Boutte declined to comment regarding whether or what the existing relationship between Hernandez and the alleged victim may be, nor about any evidence there may be in this case, citing a need to protect of the identity of the boy.

Hernandez is not registered as a sex offender, having no such previous convictions to indicate recidivism, Boutte said.

" It does make you wonder Mr. Egbert, what kind of a person you are around children. I understand the legal issues and not guilty until proven but even think that a child would come up with such a story to get back at someone is unbelievable.
What kind of parent are you? Do you know about being accused of something you didnt do by one of your kids? Maybe you speak from someone that has been there. Thank God you will never coach my children or be left with them. "

" it sounds like you speak from experience - i still wouldnt want a sex offender who has gone thru treatment around my kid "

" Whats wrong with you people? How can you convict a man based of an article in the newspaper? He deserves his trial where the truth will hopefully be brought out. I don't think it's fair to convict him right off the bat. And don't you realize it is POSSIBLE for a child to lie? For reasons we could not possibly fathom? Children are different creatures than us grown ups. "

" I was a victim. You don't forget. i watch my kids like a hawk, they never stay with anyone! I've never let them go near my dad---they never will. My mom comes to visit. Treatment won't "help" this person. They don't change--ask my sisters. "

" After doing some research, here are 2 websites that provide locations of registered sex offenders. I did mresearch before I bought my home a couple of years ago. However, both sites list different convicted/registered sex offenders, so now I have both websites in my favorites list. I tihnk it is beneficial to check the websites 1-5 times a year.

" He worked at St Vincent D Paul thrift shop. I wouldn't be surprised if he's done this stuff before, he just happened to come across a very brave 12 yr old boy. For the young boy, it is not your fault, you can rise above this and become a better human being and as you mature become a strong man. To his parents, give him the love and strength to overcome this you did not fail him and I know you will be able to teach others. God and strength to you. "

" To Ales: Are you kidding me???!!! A sex offender on treatment is still a sex offender! It is not a normal life, and I don't want working with my child. And yes, they have mental issues...so did Richard Dalhmer who made lampshades out of young boys. No pity here - wrong is wrong. The guy deserves jail. And as far as being molested as a child - he should've know how it felt. Plenty of agengies available willing to help. I vote castration. "

Ales wrote on Apr 22, 2008 5:20 PM:

" @ Gail,
Say Gail, are you one of these Christian types that forgive only those you chose to? Did you know that most sex offenders were molested as children? Did you know that they get almost no treatment because they are not taken seriously? Did you also know that once on treatment a sex offender can live a regular "normal" life? Do you know that they have mental issues?
Or is it just the Catholic Priests that have a problem? "

" you know the boy well so do i he is my family and if you read the report on lawler the other guy who was involved with this it said mike was a family friend of the boy so dont tell me i had no right. Tell it to the ppl who put it in the paper and for all of you who think im YELLING in all caps that wasnt even that and i dont need to use punctuation or actual sentances im not in english class no more but what ever i just want justice for my family "

Jay wrote on Apr 16, 2008 2:37 PM:

" To you have no clue. You had no right to say it was a family friend. The boy needs his privacy. I know who it is and it was more then a family friend. Mike had no right and what that boy has gone through these past three months is horrable. The family also needs our prayers. Also Mike went to turn himself in because he thought someone else had pressed charges for none payement . Not because of this. All that knows of this case knows he did it. But we worry about the past kids . "

I for one want to know more about the case. How did Mike know to turn himself in at the police station? What day did he turn himself in? The investigation started on the 19th of March. btw...i know of neither Mike nor the kid... "

" To those who question whether or not this child is lying: Why would this child have any reason to lie? Do you think that is what children do? What would be the benefit of lying? This poor boy was strong enough to come forward and tell the truth and it saddens me to know that children aren't taken serioulsy in matters like this. I'm sure that Mike turned himself in because he had no other choice. And turning yourself in isn't a sigh of innocence! "

NO WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This child in in a world now of pain and the child will have to live with this. Look what the Priests have done for all these years.? Hopefuuly the other children this has happened to will come forward. Mike needs to be put away for along time. How long has Mike coached sports ?????? "

" The reason you need to look beyond just this season is there may be other victims out there from previous years who are too scared to say anything.If there are other victims they need help also.Sexual abuse is not something one just gets over,it affects you whole life.
We look up to our coaches and teachers.It is very hard when one finds out that this person we looked up to and respected/trusted has broken a very sacred trust.The anger and hurt expressed in your post shows how this vicious act has far reaching consequences.God heals if we let Him. "

Second,I am a parent whose child played several seasons of rec. soccer with Mike as a coach.We went to Tuscon for many games that we all stayed over night in a hotel.Mike also had a small travel house he used,here and at Tucson.Before you sound off please get all the information.One can not look at only one season of a sport,you have to look back to when the accused started coaching and the history.

He is guilty and he will get his in the end and I still pray for the boy and his family. This is just so sad "

" for your inforamtion Mike for this year was only left with one night and was supervised by an adult. He was not left alone with any children this year for soccer. I know for a fact. One night the parents could not come to one event and himself and onother adult stayed with two kids at the same hotel in the same room I was at and everyone was checked on. That was the only time. Now I am saying for this year. I have no idea for any other years. So do not tell me otherwise "

Mr.Egbert,do you realize that the reason most victims do not tell is because they fear not being believed.Your uncaring accusation could lead some to question how safe are you around children.

Jay,Mike was left alone many times with the kids at hotels during soccer tournaments.

The issue is about a child molester - not where he lived...but why and how he had unrestricted access to kids. Why there is no volunteering screening and background checks. Why a parent trusted the individual to be alone with her child, or why he or anyone else is allowed to volunteer and be alone with a child. "
