IRVING, Texas — An Irving man is facing a first-degree felony charge following an investigation that began with a cyber tip alleging child sexual abuse material had been uploaded from a South Irving residence.
According to the Irving Police Department, members of the Vice Unit executed a search warrant on the morning of Thursday, July 2, at a home in the 2000 block of Black Jack Drive, near Nimitz High School.
Investigators said the warrant stemmed from a cyber tip reporting that child sexual abuse material had been uploaded to the internet from the residence.
During the search, detectives contacted 25-year-old Josue Chacon-Martinez and explained the purpose of the warrant. Police said he cooperated with investigators and provided the passcode to his cellphone.
A forensic examination of the device allegedly revealed a cloud storage application containing numerous files depicting child sexual abuse. Investigators said they recovered more than 50 videos containing child sexual abuse material.
Chacon-Martinez was arrested and charged with Possession of Child Pornography – More Than 50 Videos, a first-degree felony under Texas law.
After being transferred to the Dallas County Jail the following day, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) also lodged an immigration detainer, identifying Chacon-Martinez as being unlawfully present in the United States, according to jail records.
He remains in custody.
