U.S. Marshals Major Case: Juan Ralios-Batz

Wichita, KS – The U.S. Marshals are seeking the public’s help and offering a reward of up to $5,000 for information leading to the arrest of a Guatemalan man wanted in Seward County on multiple counts of crimes against children.

Juan Ralios-Batz, (estimated age) 30, is wanted on three counts of rape of a child, one count of aggravated kidnapping, one count of aggravated human trafficking, and one count of abuse of a child.

Batz and his sister are alleged to have sponsored a 13-year-old unaccompanied alien child and, over a two-year-period, Batz allegedly raped the child and forced the child to do manual labor.  The child eventually became pregnant and has a child with Batz. When Batz became aware of his wanted status, his family allegedly helped him escape to Fremont, Nebraska, to evade the charges against him.     

Batz is a white or Hispanic man, stands 5 feet 1 inch and weighs approximately 115 pounds. He has brown eyes and black hair and a tattoo of the letter J on his right arm. 

Batz, who is in the U.S. illegally, is known to use multiple aliases, including Juan Ralios, Juan Batz, Randy Guerro, Juan Ramos-Batz, Juan Ramos and Omar Gonzalez. 

Anyone with information regarding his location is urged to contact the U.S. Marshals at 1-877-WANTED-2 or send tip information via the USMS Tips App.
