Authorities are still asking for the public's help in finding a San Juan man who allegedly sexually abused multiple children while they were attending classes at Powerhouse Gym.
San Juan police said one of the parents came forward last night after our story aired.
 
The police chief has assigned two investigators to this case who are trying to track down any other potential victims.
We first told you about this story Tuesday when San Juan police issued five arrest warrants for Gregorio Nava Senio, the father of the owner of Powerhouse Gymnastics in San Juan.
 
Police said he allegedly inappropriately touched children's private parts, while they were attending gymnastics classes.
The alleged abuse dates back to 2012.
 
Yesterday we spoke with one of the mothers of an alleged victims who wishes to remain anonymous.
"My daughter came home and asked to speak with me in the room by myself, so when we went in the room she said Mr. Nava has been touching me in the private,” the mother told Action 4 News.
Before police could arrest Nava, investigators said they believe he crossed into Mexico.
 
Investigators are going through five years of records from Powerhouse Gymnastics, and they are making contact with every parent that signed their child up for classes.
Now, police said they have leads on where Nava Sr. may be, and they want to warn residents that if they are helping hide him, they will face criminal charges.
