Farias also denied to both outlets that his mother sexually abused him.

"She didn't force herself on me or anything like that," he told KRIV. "It wouldn't be anything where I would have to go get a rape kit or go file a police report. It would never be anything like that. Just stuff that really made me uncomfortable and I didn't have any references or other people to bounce off of to understand if it's a healthy thing that she does or not."

Asked whether he and his mother shared a normal relationship, Farias said, "Not after all of that. Not after everything she did and to be honest, I don't want one with her."

Police Lt. Zamora said July 6 that Farias had been connected with victims' services so he had resources to aid in his recovery, but that based on their interview with him, no alleged sexual abuse had been reported. "If there is a disclosure made," he said, "we will continue to investigate."

At the time, Zamora noted, the Harris County District Attorney's Office had declined to file charges pending the final outcome of the HPD's ongoing investigation.
