A probation search led to the arrest of a Brownwood man on Wednesday, April 24th on a charge of possession of marijuana and multiple warrants related to sexual crimes committed against minor victims according to Brownwood Police and a report released today.
According to Brownwood Police Sergeant James Kidd, 22-year-old Luis Gerado Alvarado was arrested on Wednesday, April 24th after evidence was found during a probation search which indicated he was involved in these types of activities. Alvarado allegedly texted and contacted minors between 14 and 15-year-old online to meet him in person and was found to have also solicited them for sex, according to Kidd.
Charges against Alvarado include four counts of online solicitation of a minor (Coleman County), three counts of sexual assault of a child (Coleman County), online solicitation of a minor (Brown County), and sexual assault of a child (Brown County).
