Alicia Evonne Sanchez, 37, was arrested after investigators say she brought a child under 14 to a Tyler doctor who allegedly sexually abused the minor on at least 10 occasions in exchange for Adderall pills. The child reported the abuse to a counselor, prompting an investigation that led to Sanchez being jailed on $3,000,000 bond and facing up to 99 years if convicted. Dr. Kenneth D. Haygood is already serving an eight-year sentence after a 2025 plea deal in which he admitted to sexually assaulting two female patients.

A 37-year-old Texas woman has been arrested and charged after authorities say she repeatedly brought a child to a doctor who allegedly sexually abused the minor in exchange for prescription medication.
Who Was Arrested: Alicia Evonne Sanchez (also known as Alicia Evonne Seguin) was charged with continuous sexual assault of a child under 14, according to local reports.
Allegations: Investigators say Sanchez took the child to the office of 56-year-old Dr. Kenneth Donald Haygood in Tyler on at least 10 occasions and remained in the room while the assaults occurred. According to the report, the victim cried and begged the doctor to stop and was allegedly told,
"This is what doctors do."
Authorities say the alleged arrangement involved prescription Adderall pills. Police allege Haygood provided pills to Sanchez, who kept them in a clear plastic baggie and told the child the pills were "for people who couldn't get them from their doctor" amid a reported shortage.
Legal Status: Sanchez was arrested after the child disclosed the abuse to a counselor and a subsequent investigation. She is being held on $3,000,000 bond and faces up to 99 years in prison if convicted, according to news reports.
About Dr. Haygood: Dr. Kenneth Donald Haygood is already serving an eight-year prison sentence following a September 2025 plea agreement in which he admitted to two counts of sexually assaulting two female patients. As part of that deal, other charges — including a prior allegation involving a child — were dropped. Haygood's medical license was suspended in 2023, and he was later indicted for practicing without a license; that charge was dismissed under the plea arrangement. He is required to register as a sex offender for life.
Next Steps: Prosecutors and investigators continue to review the case. Sanchez faces arraignment and pretrial proceedings, and further developments may be reported as the case moves through the courts.
Note: Details such as the exact relationship between Sanchez and the victim and the victim's gender have not been released by officials.
