    Buy it today we will molest you tonight! Ouch!




    A Gallery Furniture employee was charged with indecency with a child, News2Houston reported Tuesday.

    Houston Police issued a warrant for Mario Yuban Ochoa, 25, who is accused of molesting a 4-year-old girl while working in her family's home.


    "He went on a service call to do some work on a mattress that had been delivered to this address. While there, he was busy doing his job and a 4-year-old happened to go in the room and watch what he was doing," said Lt. Ruben Diaz, with the Harris County Sheriff's Department.


    The girl's grandfather, who was babysitting her and a newborn, was in another room.


    Detectives said the grandfather went in to check on the mattress work.


    "When the grandfather returned to the room, he noticed he was quite close to the little girl and it drew his suspicion why he was so close to the little girl. Basically the technician said nothing was going on, he finished his job and packed up and left," Diaz said. "The grandfather, still suspicious why the guy was so close to her, asked her what was going on. She told him then that he had been touching her."


    Gallery Furniture said the matter is under investigation.


    "This is certainly a heartbreaking situation and police are handling this matter. And our prayers go out to all concerned," said Jim MacIngvale, with Gallery Furniture.


    Ochoa was also charged with an alleged rape in 2001, according to police, and was out on a $15,000 bond.

    I think Gallery Furniture has always made a point to hire and train people with backgrounds that are less than clean.

    I think he's always been a "second chance" kind of guy when it has to do with hiring people.

    Who knows if Gallery even knew of this guys background, but sending people who have been previously convicted of sex crimes to people's homes is not a good move. If he really wanted to give the guy a job, he needs to work in the warehouse or something to stay away from people's kids.

    i heard someone say last night that the employee had a prior record...but his previous offense was AFTER he was hired, and, thus, it would not have shown up on his record at the time he was hired.

    Wouldn't an employer be notified if a person that a person he had hired was a freak?

    What I was trying to say, if someone working for you gets an offence like that wouldn't he have to notify his employer?

    The grandfather is not to blame, but I'm wondering why he let the girl out of his sight when there was a stranger in the house. I'm sure he expected better from Gallery Furniture than to send a sex offender to his house.

    Well, it says he's been charged in an alleged rape. It didn't say he was convicted of it and I suppose that case is still in the courts.

    And, I appreciate Mattress Mac employing people despite their criminal backgrounds. Society makes it very hard on ex-cons trying to get back on track. Having a record shuts you out of jobs, loans, housing, assistance, political participation, and just about everything else. Even so, it doesn't look like Mac is putting himself out on a limb for this guy. "This is certainly a heartbreaking situation and police are handling this matter," isn't a condemnation, but it isn't exactly an innocent-until-proven-guilty stance either.

    Thank you,

    People are so quick to convict people on here (and I'll be the first to admit I do it also). I don't won't to sound like I'm defending child molestors because I believe that is one of the worst crimes an idividual could commit but the grandfather didn't even see anything going on.

    What's even worse is that every Houston news outlet feels like this is a headlining story just because the guy works for a famous store here. They might be ruining his life for nothing.

    First of all a four year wouldn't make something like this up. How would she even know what it is? I doubt the rape charge but something happened that shouldn't have.

    Also,

    Ochoa was also charged with an alleged rape in 2001, according to police, and was out on a $15,000 bond

    He was no stranger to this kind of behavior.....

    That's the one I was referring to. He was charged but has not (yet) been convicted. So, it isn't like Gallery Furniture sent a known sex-offender to the house because he has been convicted (yet) of any crime -- neither this one nor the 2001 one (yet). It is never a good sign to be charged with something, but it is possible that he is a stranger to this kind of behavior.

    As for whether the 4-year old might be lying or not -- that's what we have juries for.
