CANYON COUNTY, Idaho — Former Boise restaurant owner Jose Sanchez Vazquez pleaded guilty to lewd conduct with a child under 16. Vazquez, who had owned La Garnacha Que Apapacha, pleaded guilty to the charges on Thursday, Sept. 26.
As KTVB previously reported, Vazquez also faced two additional rape charges in Canyon County. The trial information will become public later Friday and KTVB will update the story with information.
Vasquez, a 37-year-old, was arrested and charged on April 3, alleging he had inappropriate relations with a minor for several months. The Nampa Police Department (NPD) had also been concerned there were more victims.
During his video arraignment on April 4, the prosecution said the 16-year-old victim used to work at the restaurant, and 28 weeks pregnant. In the arraignment, Vazquez admitted to having sexual relations with the victim, including at the restaurant.
According to NPD, after they learned of the allegations, they began investigating and allege Vazquez is the father.
His sentencing is scheduled for Nov. 26.
