BROWNSVILLE, Texas - The man accused of molesting children wasn't interested in the cut & dry dynamic of the courtroom. Carlos Levon Anderson wanted a bond posted, so that he could pay it and go home. Instead, Magistrate Judge Luis Saenz denied the bond.
The 39-year-old Anderson, husband of veteran Harlingen Police Department Lt. Myriam (also spelled Miryam in some press reports) Anderson, called the denial a "travesty." It was a dramatic moment in a case that has roiled Harlingen, where many residents believed some in the HPD were not being forthcoming with any info related to the alleged crimes, the suspect, or the suspect's connection to a high-ranking police officer.
Anderson, shown in photo above, faces indecency with a child, aggravated sexual assault of a child and sexual assault of a child charges born of alleged acts with female students. The karate instructor was listed as a fugitive after failing to appear at a June 29th district court arraignment.
He turned himself in at the Cameron County Jail on Monday afternoon. A non-related Hot Check charge resulting from a 2007 case also was part of today's arraignment. The jailed karate instructor insisted he's not guilty, saying the bond denial was unfair and noting that authorities had not notified him of the indictment properly. Anderson said notices were mailed to an address that was incorrect and not current.
The HPD has distanced itself from the case since Day One, turning over the investigation to the Texas Rangers and the Cameron County District Attorney's office. HPD Chief Danny Castillo also has said Lt. Anderson was not part of the probe. What remained unclear was whether Lt. Anderson had aided - or not aided - authorities in helping find her errant husband. Earlier news report had it the Andersons were estranged...

ANON:...We do not know that this man's wife is fat & ugly, as you say. So we are forced to distance ourselves from your comment; that is, it does not necessarily represent the official view of this Blog... - Editor
She isn't fat, she is actually a nice person. But she does speak on womans issues and childrens matters.
She isn't ugly either, she is just very human, and at the present very embarrassed.
Anonymous:...Thanks for that. We are with those who believe it has to be terrible for this woman to have her man, even if estranged, indicted for such crimes. It goes to the bone of what womanhood is... - Editor

That pic of Carlos Levon does him no justice. He's at least a half ton+ man.
