Accused Child Molestor Wanted By TBI

THE T-B-I IS RENEWING EFFORTS TO CATCH AN ACCUSED CHILD MOLESTER AGENTS SAY SHOULD BE CONSIDERED BOTH ARMED AND DANGEROUS.


JOSE RENDON DISAPPEARED 5-YEARS-AGO RIGHT AFTER BEING INDICTED, BUT HE MAY STILL BE HERE IN MIDDLE TENNESSEE.

FOX 17'S SCOTT COUCH HAS THE DETAILS IN TONIGHT'S T-B-I'S MOST WANTED.


JOSE RENDON WAS IN HIS 50'S WHEN THIS PICTURE WAS TAKEN.

HE'S ALMOST 60-NOW.

BUT DON'T BE FOOLED BY HIS APPEARANCE.

THE T-B-I SAYS RENDON IS NOBODY'S GRANDFATHER.

T.J. Jordan/TBI Authorities believe that Jose Rendon has had inappropriate sexual contact with minors for over the past 20-years."

RENDON WAS BUSTED IN 2002 AFTER HE ADMITTED TO FONDLING A YOUNG GIRL UNDER THE AGE OF 13.

AT THE TIME HE WAS LIVING ON FLORENCE ROAD JUST OUTSIDE THE MURFREESBORO CITY LIMITS.

"Kristin Helm/TBI We know he still has family ties to the Murfreesboro area. However, we know he does travel to Mexico and Texas. And we think he might be looping around that direction but he still does frequent middle Tennessee"

"Scott Couch/Fox 17 News At the time he was indicted, Rendon was working as a lumper, that's someone who loads and unloads big trucks like this. Whereever he is now, the TBI says Rendon may be doing that same type of work."

"T.J. Jordan/TBI Based on the current charge and Mr. Rendon's past, it's obvious he is a danger to the community and any children he might come in contact with"

JOSE RENDON WAS BORN IN 1948.

HE HAS BLACK HAIR AND BROWN EYES.

RENDON IS 5-4 AND ABOUT 160-POUNDS.

IF YOU SEE HIM, CALL 1-800-TBI-FIND.
