Juan Benavidez is charged with distributing child pornography, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Texas.
According to officials, FBI agents searched Benavidez’s home and seized his iPhone. Investigators said an examination of the phone revealed multiple images depicting minors in sexually explicit activity.
The files were allegedly shared and received by Benavidez via Kik, a messaging application, investigators said
Benavidez remains in federal custody pending a detention hearing next week, officials said. He faces between five and 20 years in prison if convicted.
