Each Friday, we're looking for your help to track down fugitives in Arizona. 

Wanted: Joel Valenzuela Flores

Charges: Probation violation on original charge of attempted sexual conduct with a minor. 

Joel Flores has fled from the adult probation department and hasn't been seen in over three years. Flores was given lifetime probation in Oct. 2014 after pleading guilty to attempted sexual conduct with a minor. 

Flores was accused of molesting a teenage girl with the mental capacity of a five-year-old. He denied the accusations, but failed a polygraph test he consented to take. He later admitted to inappropriately touching the girl.
