"Time is of the essence," said Rob Fernandez, commander of the Capital Area Regional Fugitive Task Force. "We want to get this guy before he runs back to his homeland."
Nelson Salinas, 54, is wanted by Fairfax County police on two counts of aggravated sexual battery on a minor.
Authorities said Salinas and the victim's father were police officers in Peru before both families immigrated to the United States and settled in the Alexandria and Arlington area.
The girl's family temporarily stayed with Salinas' family. Police said Salinas snuck into the girl's bed twice and touched her inappropriately. She was about 11 years old.
Salinas was charged with sexual battery after the victim conducted a phone sting and the man admitted to the accusations, police said.
A warrant was issued for his arrest, and police would like the public to provide information to help bring him to justice.
Salinas is described as 5 feet 5 inches tall and 175 pounds with gray hair and brown eyes.
Anyone with information on Salinas' whereabouts is urged to call the U.S. Marshals Service at 800-336-0102. The Capital Area Regional Fugitive Task Force, run by the U.S. Marshals Service, comprises 30 federal, state and local agencies from Baltimore to Norfolk. Since its creation in 2004, the unit has captured more than 29,000 wanted fugitives.
