A woman accused of tearing her 6-year-old son's genitals then using superglue on the injury had been arrested before for assaulting an ex-husband.
Jennifer Marie Vargas, who turns 34 in December, spent a night in the Georgetown jail before posting bail for the misdemeanor assault in September 1999 on her then-husband, Filiberto Vargas Jr., the San Antonio Express-News confirmed.
Jennifer Vargas, whose maiden name is Hackney, married Filiberto Vargas in February 1998, and they had a daughter together. She was given deferred adjudication probation and ordered to pay an unspecified fine for the assault that occurred a little more than a year later, according to court records.
The couple later separated, he remarried, and she later had her son with another man, records show.
While there have been no previous documented child-abuse incidents involving Jennifer Vargas, the assault on her then-husband and the alleged abuse on Sept. 27 of the boy prompted federal prosecutors to ask that she be detained without bond.
“She is a danger to the community and a flight risk,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Sarah Wannarka wrote in a motion seeking to keep Vargas locked up.
