Investigators reportedly discovered 68 videos of at least 13 men and women in situations where they compromised at the facility between 2021 and 2023.
Citation record, KXAN-TV During the investigation, the Travis County Sheriff's Office reported that “we found numerous images of sexually explicit material involving subjects who appeared to be adolescents during review of content on the device.”
According to the arrest warrant, the detective submitted images to the National Centre for Missing and Exploitation to determine whether the suspect was a previous victim of child sexual abuse. The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children reportedly confirmed that one of the victims was a 7-year-old girl who was sexually abused.
Records show that child victims are linked to the FBI investigation, showing that in April 2014 the suspect was found guilty on two counts of child pornography production, one count of child pornography distribution, and another count that owns illegal content.
Wasek is scheduled to appear in court on March 19th for a new charge.
