SOCORRO, TEXAS (KFOX14/CBS4) — The Socorro Police Department has arrested a 39-year-old man in connection with a multi-victim child sexual abuse investigation.
Police arrested Thomas Abraham Drake over the weekend after the Socorro police’s Criminal Investigations Division (CID) began an investigation into Drake in October 2025.
According to police, the investigation began after receiving a report of sexual abuse involving a child under 14 years old.
During the investigation, CID personnel identified Drake as the suspect and found evidence linking him to the abuse of two additional children, with incidents dating back to 2009.
In total, three victims have been confirmed, police stated.
On Dec. 6, CID, with support from the department’s quick reaction force tactical unit and patrol division, conducted a coordinated operation leading to Drake’s arrest.
Drake is now held at the El Paso County Detention Facility on three counts of Continuous Sexual Abuse of a young child or disabled individual, with bonds set at $75,000, $75,000, and $100,000.
The Socorro police said it remains committed to seeking “justice for victims and protecting the community’s most vulnerable members.”
